I called your name outloud,
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 furture worked out,
At least we did on that old porch swing
Today in my rearview 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?
