Sammy Kershaw Lyrics
Like I Wasn't Even There Lyrics
(Monty Criswell, Wesley Hightower, Timothy Ray Menzies)
She was sitting at our table
In our favorite old cafe
??? up, laughing with new friends
It was the first time I had seen her
Since the day she walked away
She noticed me the moment I walked in
I saw her brown eyes and perfect smile
The candle light reflecting off her hair
But she acted like I wasn't even there
In California, sun sinking out of sight
Like I didn't hear her say, "I love you"
Laying on the beach that night
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe
Losing her all over again
All I could do was stare
While she acted like I wasn't even there
I thought I might walk over
Then she'd have to say, "Hello"
But then again just what good would that do?
So I motioned to the waitress
"I'll take a call for you to go
And keep that change, I'll try to play it cool"
Then I heard that voice above the crowd
I felt like I was trying to breathe thin air
And she acted like I wasn't even there
In the rock with that diamond in my hand
Like we didn't talk about forever
A picket fence on a little land
Like I wasn't standing in that cafe
Losing her all over again
All I could do was stare
How she acted like I wasn't even there
Surely I'm still in her heart somewhere
But she acted like I wasn't even there
