I called your name outloud,

To a stranger yesterday.

When she turned around,

I said "I'm sorry",

And just walked away.

From a distance,

She had that look.

And for a second or two,

I thought it was you.

Took a moment to catch my breath,

Try to brace myself.

Still don't have a clue.

On how to leave your memory behind,

After all this time.

I hear there's one special love in each life.

And I must look like a fool,

I thought it was you.

I still drive by your house,

Taking trips down memory lane.

We had our furture worked out,

At least we did on that old porch swing.

Today in my rearview mirror,

I saw an old Malibu.

Girl I thought it was you.

Took a moment to catch my breath,

Try to brace myself.

Still don't have a clue.

On how to leave your memory behind,

After all this time.

I hear there's one special love in each life.

And I must look like a fool,

I thought it was you.

Am I really a fool?

I thought it was you.

I thought it was you.

Why couldn't it be you?
