Sam's Lament

by Rob Wynne

To the Tune of: "I Just Fall In Love Again" by the Carpenters

Inspired by the NBC-TV series "Quantum Leap"

Dreaming, I must be dreaming
This body isn't mine, it all feels new
Once more, I find me in another life
Al, where are you, my old friend? What is it I must do?

    And oh, I just leap through time again
    Right a wrong and then it happens every time
    There I go, I just leap through time again
    The past I roam
    Hoping each leap will be the one back home

Magic, this must be magic
It's surely not the science I have known
Dont know why fate has dealt to me this hand
Living out fragments of lives that never were my own

    And oh, I just leap through time again
    Life to life and then it happens every time
    There I go, I just leap through time again
    The past I roam
    Hoping each leap will be the one back home
    Hoping each leap will be the one back home
