I went tonight and joined a group of merry making friends
I thought perhaps I'd get you off my mind and smile again
But a pretty girl walked in and made me feel like crawling out
She looked so much like you oh there's one in every crowd

In every crowd of people there's a face or there's a sign
Something to remind me that your love's no longer mine
I forget you for a moment then I'm happy and I'm proud
But it only takes a memory and there's one in every crowd

And there I was recalling things I went there to forget
U yet
I found myself a corner and hid my face and cried out loud
And I heard somebody whisp
In every crowd of people there's somebody just like me
Unable to erase the dreams that never came to be
I forget you for a moment then I'm happy and I'm proud
But it only takes a memory and there's one in every crowd
