A contemporary take—with a twist—on Nancy Wilson’s classic “Guess Who I Saw Today."

lyrics

I saw you on the street today
I don’t know why, but I followed you for quite a way
Trying to decide if I should call your name
I don’t know why, but I didn’t

You stopped outside a small cafe
You went inside, and as I watched you through the window
I don’t know why I had a feeling I should walk away
I don’t know why, but I didn’t

She was waiting at the table, starry-eyed
And I saw the way you looked at her, so satisfied
I saw the way you touched her hand
Didn’t take a genius to understand

And so when you come home tonight
Don’t look for me, because I won’t be there
I’ll be somewhere else, I don’t know where
Or why it turned out this way, I only
Things will never be the same
Since I say you on the street today
