[Silence]
[Arrangement: Playful, upbeat pop-rock with jangly guitars, walking bass, light organ, handclaps, and a catchy call-and-response]
[Intro]
Who’s that there?
(Over there?)
Do you know?
(I swear…)
I’ve seen that smile
(Somewhere before)
Now I can’t remember
(Anymore)
[Verse 1]
Walked right by
(Caught my eye)
Had a laugh
(As time flew by)
Almost waved
(Then thought again)
Maybe we’ve
(Been long-lost friends)
[Refrain]
Who is that?
(What’s her name?)
Love to chat…
(But just the same)
What’s her name?
(I can’t recall)
Yet somehow
(I know it all)
Who is that?
(Looks so familiar)
What’s her name?
(I wish I’d remember)
[Chorus]
Hope tomorrow
(It will click)
Think my memory
(Needs a trick)
[Verse 2]
Funny how
(The mind can roam)
Searching through
(A crowded home)
Faces linger
(Names depart)
Still they leave
(A mark upon the heart)
Life’s a puzzle
(Piece by piece)
Some arrive
(Some quietly leave)
[Bridge]
If I ask
(Would it seem strange?)
Or is forgetting
(Just part of change?)
Either way
(I’ll say hello)
You never know
(Where friendships grow)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar solo]
[Handclaps]
[Organ fills]
[Final Refrain]
Who is that?
(What’s her name?)
Love to chat…
(But just the same)
What’s her name?
(Perhaps she’ll say)
And we’ll laugh
(The day away)
[Outro]
Who is that?
(What’s her name?)
Maybe next time
(I’ll up my game…)
