I met her in the early days of fall
The way we used to laugh and talk
I thought we had it all
I thought we were as close as we could be
Until one day she packed her bags
And walked away from me
I've loved her and I've lost her yes it's true
And so I hit the bottle every time I'm feeling blue
Now every time I drive home from some bar
I see her face behind the wheel of every car
I never found out where she went to stay
Though I thought I caught a glimpse of her
She can't be far away
And was that her who waved along the drive
Or just some pretty passerby
Who keeps my hopes alive
I know our love can never be the same
So in some ways it don't matter
If we never meet again
But that doesn't stop me looking for her star
And on a cloudless summer night
I'll love her from afar
