I called your name out loud
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 future worked out
At least we did on that old porch swing
Today in my rear view 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?
