When I heard that familiar voice
My heart stopped dead in its tracks
Across the room
I could see him there
A ghost from my past
But he's too caught up to notice me
She must be his new love
I never dreamed
That it would hurt this much it's just

I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
How he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
Cuz I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
I know how he feels

As long as I kept him out of sight
I kept from goin' out of my mind
Tried to believe that leavin him
Was somehow justified
But tonight there's no denying
What a love like his is worth
He once looked at me
The way he's lookin at her
What a lucky girl

I know how he feels
