[Verse 1] You were standing in the doorway Summer light around your hair Like a scene I didn’t ask for But somehow always waited there You laughed once and I remember Every detail in that sound Like my lonely heart decided “That’s the one I won’t live down” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Some people stay forever Some just pass right through But God… there are strangers That leave marks deeper than truth ⸻ [Chorus] To the girls we only meet once In a city, in a train, in the rain Those eyes that hit like lightning Then disappear without a name And years go by like smoke does Still somehow they remain Like songs we never finished Or tattoos beneath the pain I swear I still remember That smile across the room The kind that makes a young man Fall in love too soon ⸻ [Verse 2] Maybe you’re in California Or married somewhere warm Maybe you forgot the moment While I still replay the storm Funny how a single second Can outlive a thousand nights How a stranger’s little gesture Can haunt a man for life ⸻ [Bridge] And sometimes when it’s midnight And the city finally sleeps I still see your silhouette Walking slowly out of reach Not mine Never mine Still a part of me somehow ⸻ [Final Chorus] To the girls we only meet once That heaven lets us borrow briefly Like angels at the station Gone before we can speak freely But time can’t take the feeling Or the way your eyes moved through me Some loves never happen Still become your memory
