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 a 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

Lyric by Johnny Mercer Music by David Raksin Written in 1945 for the 20th Century Fox film, "Laura"

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.

Is there a line in this song or some version of it that goes: Laura is the face on the barroom floor? Or is it the result of scrambled neuronal connections? Please reply.
