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 (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til 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 (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til 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
It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
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 (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til 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 (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til 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
It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

On Oct 22,1976, we went to see Black Sabbath, Boston opened for them. When they played it was like nothing we ever heard before, my friends, my girlfriend, my brother, and I were mesmerized, this band was HOT. The concert was 1 day before Boston released there first album, so this was a completely new sound. More Than A Feeling was the sound track for my Junior year of High School, and My girlfriend Kay and I was so in love, we were to be married after high school, and when we heard this song were thought we had "More than a feeling", a higher love. I went to basic training, and Technical School for the Air Force, and while I was gone Kay married someone else, so much for that eternal love. I hadn't really listed to the lyrics of the song till after her wedding. Later she came by to pick up some stuff from my mom's while I was on leave. We said our goodbyes, she walked off into the cold day, and the line "I saw my Marianne walking away" went through my mind. Every time I hear this song I see her walking down the street.
@Robm123 <br /> <br /> An update to this story. Kay contacted me on classmates, it took me 5 years to answer her back. I apologized for taking so long to reply, she was just glad to hear from me. We exchanged histories, she had it rough, I felt bad for being mad for so long. We wrote each other a couple of times, then the emails stopped. I found out she died. I was glad we caught up with each other, but I've lost her again, but I know she's in a better place. she said I was the one that got away, I told her she really didn't miss anything.
@Robm123 <br /> Your commentary is moving. You encapsulate the nostalgic sadness of the song in your depiction of life's events.
@Robm123 Aaah mate you are makin me misty. Good on ya
Kay is a C.H.E.A.T.E.R!
