More Than A Feeling
Ingram Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone

Turned on some music to start my day

I lost myself in a familiar song

I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play

(more than a feeling)

I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

'till I see Marianne walk away

I see my Marianne walkin' away


So many people have come and gone

Their faces fade as the years go by

Yet I still recall as I wander on

as clear as the sun in the summer sky


It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play

(more than a feeling)

I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

'till I see Marianne walk away

I see my Marianne walkin' away


When I'm tired and thinking cold

I hide in my music, forget the day

and dream of a girl I used to know

I closed my eyes and she slipped away

She slipped away She slipped away.


It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play

(more than a feeling)

I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

'till I see Marianne walk away





I see my Marianne walkin' away
