or someone about to phone you

or to be filled with a kind of love

that pulls flowers from the ground.

And if that were not enough,

you either have a heart so deep

it spans the ages

or a mind that's filled

with the total memory of life.

Why, Daisy...

...you're a bloody miracle.

Could anyone among us

have an inkling or a clue

what magic feats of wizardry

and voodoo you can do?

And who would ever guess

What powers you possess?

And who would not be stunned

To see you prove

There's more to us

Than surgeons can remove?

So much more than we ever knew

So much more were we born to do

Should you draw back the curtain?

This, I am certain

You'll be impressed

With you

On a clear day

Rise and look around you

And you'll see

Who you are

On a clear day

How it will astound you

That the glow of your being

Outshines every star

You feel a part of

Every mountain, sea and shore

You can hear from far and near

A world you've never heard before

And on a clear day

On that clear day

You can see forever

And ever

And ever

And evermore

Gee.

Gee.

Daisy, I must hypnotize you

- one more time.

- No!

Not to see Melinda, I swear it.

Now that you know,

it would probably be distorted.

It's for another reason.

I ask you as a favour.

One last time.

Just hope I haven't forgotten how...

- Daisy, can you hear me?

- Yes.

Open your eyes.

I want you to concentrate

very, very hard.

You have told me about

your life as Melinda.

Do you remember

any other previous lifetimes?

Oh, sure.

How many?

Let's see.

One, two, three, four.

Five.

Six.

Seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.

Thirteen.

- Fourteen...

- That's enough, Daisy.

In all those lifetimes,

do you ever remember...

...meeting me?

Yes.

Did we know each other well?

We were married.

Happily married?

It was...

...beyond anything.

What were our names?

Laura and John Caswell.

Laura and John Caswell.

Where did we live?

It's funny.

We lived in Virginia.

I can...

I can see us, but l...

I can't see all around us.

What year was it?

- I think I see...

- You don't have to go further.

No more questions.

Sleep until I count to three

and snap my fingers.

Then you will awaken and you

won't remember what you told me.

One, two, three.

Fine.

Thank you, Daisy.

When are you getting married?

Warren and I have severed

our relationship.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I thought I'd go up on the roof

for a while

and sit around with Tad.

You know, my ex-stepbrother.

I think that's a good idea.

- What about you?

- Well, you know, I'm married.

Oh, really?

Yes, but we're separated.

Oh, really?

I spoke to her and somehow

I think it will be all right now.

Oh, really.

She says I've changed.

Have you?

Yes. Thanks to you.

I used to be in love with answers,

but since I have known you,

I'm just as fond of the questions.

I think the answers make you wise,

but the questions make you human.

You got that from me?

Yes, I did.

Well,

I'm glad you got something.

It's only fair.

I don't smoke anymore.

Well...

Goodbye, doctor.

Goodbye, Daisy.

Bye.

Daisy, have you...?

Have you ever been to Virginia?

No.

Have you?

No.

Daisy.

You won't forget what I told you?

On...

...a clear day...

Rise and look around you

And you'll see

Who you are

Well...

So long, doctor.

See you later.

On a clear day

Rise and look around you

And you'll see who you are

On a clear day

How it will astound you

That the glow of your being

Outshines every star

You'll feel part of

Every mountain, sea and shore

You can hear from far and near

A world you never

Never heard before

And on a clear day

On that clear day

You can see forever

And ever and ever

And evermore
