Laura Lyrics - Jazz Biography - Charles Mingus

You know the feeling of something half remembered 

Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well 

You know the feeling of recognizing someone 

That you've never met as far as you could tell, well 

Laura is the face in the misty light 

Footsteps that you hear down the hall 

The laugh that floats on a summer night 

That you can never quite recall 

And you see Laura on the train that is passing through 

Those eyes, how familiar they seem 

She gave your very first kiss to you 

That was Laura but she's only a dream
