Someone That Looked Like You

I saw her on the tram I saw you on the tram It wasn’t you It was someone that looked like you * Looked a lot like you The color of her hair The way she moved Her face, but not her nose * She stepped on, went off Before my tram stop I had seen my surgeon Not my day; that day * I saw her on the tram; again It wasn’t you Looked so like you So close; but not you * I loved you then You left; closed the door I believed the door was closed shut I believed I had walked away; free of you * She stepped on, went off Before my tram stop I had seen my surgeon that day From sundown to sunrise; that day * I looked around; on the tram Sitting there alone Thinking of you Thinking: * Do I turn around Do I have to turn my head Must I turn around; now She sure looked a lot like you
