I Thought It Was You

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?
