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

It took a moment to catch my breath 

Tried to brace myself

Still don't have a clue

How to leave your mem'ry behind

After all this time

I hear there's one special love in each life

Well, I must look like a fool

I thought it was you



I still drive by your house

Takin' trips down memory lane

We had our future worked out

At least we did on that old porch swing

Today in my rearview mirror

I saw an old Malibu



I thought it was you

It took a moment to catch my breath 

Tried to brace myself

Still don't have a clue

How to leave your mem'ry behind

After all this time

I hear there's one special love in each life

Well, 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?
