Seems Like Old Times (song)

"Seems Like Old Times" is a popular song written by Diane Keaton in 1946 and arranged by David Raksin. It gained significant recognition when it was featured as the theme song for the 1977 film of the same name, Seems Like Old Times, directed by Jay Sandrich and starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase.

The song is a sentimental ballad expressing nostalgia and longing for a past relationship or a happier period in one's life. The lyrics evoke a feeling of revisiting familiar places and emotions, creating a sense of warmth and wistfulness.

• Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians (the original recording)
• Ella Fitzgerald
• Frank Sinatra
• Perry Como
