I Swear I Saw Christopher Reeve (Mackinac Island Charm) lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know, it’s not pronounced "Mackinack"
It's "Mackinaw," Mackinac
It's an Indian name, but it almost sounds French
Mackinac, le Mackinac
Quaint as crocheting
Silent as that "c"
Just came to Mackinac
Came here with me

[Verse 2]
It's like Bermuda in Michigan
Mackinaw, Mackinaw
So tranquil I hardly need tranquilizers
Mackinaw, no Seconal
No moving vehicles
No glitz, no buzz
Preserving a history
That never quite was

[Chorus]
So magically sweet and so sublime
They came here to shoot Somewhere in Time
So real and yet so like make-believe
Swear I saw Christopher Reeve
[Verse 3]
You'll never guess where we met
Mackinaw, Mackinaw
He's a bit of pudge, but I really didn't mind
Mackinaw, Sir Mackinaw
Time can't remove
What we had on that trip
The kiss in my vestibule
Stain on my slip

[Verse 1]
Quaint as crocheting
Silent as that "c"
I just came to Mackinac
Came here with me

[Chorus]
So magically sweet and so sublime
Almost don't care that there'll be no next time
When he flew away, left me to grieve
Swear I saw Christopher Reeve
