I Thought It Was You Lyrics

Doug Stone I Thought It Was You

Songwriters: Harrison, Gary; Menzies, Tim;

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?
