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?
