Like I Wasn't Even There - Sammy Kershaw

She was sitting at our table

In our favorite old cafe

Cuttin' 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
