It was a cold November evening As I walked into the bar I saw you talking with your friend So near and yet so far Why did I feel I knew you Why did I want to tell you When I know we haven't met Don't know if you even saw me Did you even see me It was just a passing moment But it felt like forever I was like a drowning man Whose whole life flashes before him Except it was your life I knew everything about you Even friends and places That I know I'd never seen When the place was getting crowded I stepped outside for some air Stuck in the open doorway Couldn't leave I couldn't stay There always comes that moment In every conversation When all but a fool can't think of anything to say I don't know how I know her Maybe in another life 'Cos I can't understand how I could feel so close To someone I don't know You can say you will (You can say you will) You can say you won't You can say anything you wish (Still the truth) Still the truth Remains the only thing I want (Still the truth) (Remains the same) Your kiss And then you looked right at me Or was it right through me You slowly turned your back You turned and looked away Then all but a fool can't think of anything to say And so we stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away And so I stood there smiling Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away Slowly drifting away
