It's All right. © Charles Harter, 2006

Just yesterday,
I thought I saw you
But I was mistaken and the stranger was shaken -
by the light in my eyes
As I mumbled I'm sorry I thought you were someone and she said in suprise- It;s all right
But strange as it seems she brought back some dreams I had left long ago
A place and a time when my head couldn't see what my heart seemed to know
And If I knew then what I knew know I wouldn't have trusted my fears
But hey that's all over -and washed in the passing of so many years
and It's all right

Still I wish she could have been you 'cos I'm sure she'd be suprised
to see how much I've grown
I wish she could have been you- I wouldn't waste a second chance- that much I know

Now there was a time you seemed to be so full of fun
It was all I needed to know
But something inside made me so restless - I lied- and I needed to go
and you said its all right

Still I wish she could have been you 'cos I'm sure she'd be suprised
to see how much I've grown
I wish she could have been you- I wouldn't waste a second chance- that much I know

Just yesterday down on the street just for a moment
I really thought it was you
But I couldn't be sure- its quite a while
-but something in your eyes I knew
And I wasn't mistaken but where could we go?
so we chose to pretend
I wanted to stop for a while and tell you I've learnt in the end
But...
it'a all right.
