Someone Special Music and Lyrics by David Nigel Chalmers
Verse 1
I met a girl in my hometown when I was young
She turned my whole world upside down at 21
And every day, I thought of her and the life we share
And then one day she went away and I don’t know where
Chorus
Sometimes you can’t tell the forest from the trees
and everyone here looks the same
I know you must be someone special to me
But I just can’t remember your name
Verse 2
Some kindly folks left me here but not for long
And very soon they’ll take me home where I belong
I wish she’d come and visit me I feel alone
But I know I’ll see her soon when I get home
Chorus
Sometimes you can’t tell the forest from the trees
and everyone here looks the same
I know you must be someone special to me
But I just can’t remember your name
Bridge
It’s funny how things turned out this way
And was that stranger here again yesterday
Instrumental
Repeat Bridge
It’s funny how things turned out this way
And was that stranger here again yesterday
Chorus
Sometimes you can’t tell the forest from the trees
and everyone here looks the same
I know you must be someone special to me
But I just can’t remember your name
