The Familiar Stranger
Hello, there, I'm sorry
You just looked like someone I knew
His hair was wavy, his demeanor shy,
His eyes a greenish-blue
No, it's my mistake, really
You just looked like this one guy
He was quietly thoughtful and caring
But unmistakably shy
Perhaps it is you, then
But I cannot be so sure
Did you enjoy my presence?
Was it me that you adored?
I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you
My memory has sort of lulled
But you seem a different person now
Your love of life has dulled
Yes, it is you, I suspect
There is something that's the same
It could be the way you look at me rarely
Or the way you said my name
Please forgive me, familiar stranger
We had such a great strife
But maybe, just maybe
We would have worked in a different life
For someone who meant a lot. Not the same person who I wrote "Until You Can Stay" about
