I passed you on a street in town today
And my heart ached in an old familiar way
I thought of things I'd like to say should I catch your eye
And just like a stranger you walked right on by
I stood there on the corner of the street
The same old corner where we once used to meet
I know you saw the teardrops falling from my eyes
But just like a stranger you walked right on by
[ steel ]
I've walked with you down this old street before
But I'll never walk it with you anymore
I smiled and said hello to you but you made no reply
Instead like a stranger you walked right on by
Just like a stranger you walked right on by
