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?
