The strangest thing occured today, A stranger stopped me To ask me for the time of day. There's nothing strange in that except, We both thought we had met before, But neither knew the place, We left the mystery unsolved, Amused the we should make the same mistake. And I could'nt help but feel, That you and I had done the very same thing, We just took longer to recognise Ourselves beneath the skin. You saw me first, I saw you much later. Strange that we should make the same mistake.
You mistook me, you mistook me For somebody else completely. You weren't who I thought you were, And I was someone different too, Such an easy thing to do.
But I can't help but feel, Sad abouth the things I found and lost, I counted the minutes we were apart, Now I count the cost. But I realise the damage Could've been much worse, And we were lucky we both made The same mistake.
