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, it took a moment to catch my breath

Tried to brace myself, still don't have a clue

How to leave your memory 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 rear view mirror I saw an old Malibu

And girl, 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 memory 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?
