i knew you once, and i've seen you before
how could i forget your smile that day? oh,
it was dark and cloudy, i was alone
the rain came, i then found an old cafe.
but you were there, and i stared for a while
i knew you once and i've seen you before
why did you care so much, to my wonder
you make me smile stupidly when i cried.
i didn't mean to, but i dreamed of you
i saw a mere dim lamp, a flame, and you
with a goofy grin, and tousled hair, you.
you asked if i was okay, i wasn't
so you ordered coffee and so much more-
and listened to my dumb, sad life stories.
i knew you once and i've seen you before.
