Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by every day
Somebody that you look at but never really see
He jokes about his love life and tells her he's about ready to give up
When he saw his future in her eyes instead of just another friendly face
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somebody that you look at but never really see
A moment they both missed until that day

When she was always there at that diner waitin' on
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
Somewhere out there, there's somebody"

And he wonders why he searched so long
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by every day
That's when she says,"I've been there before but keep on lookin'
Across town in a crowded elevator
Somebody in the next car, somebody on the mornin' train
Maybe she's the one maybe he could fall in love with
It's that blue-eyed girl from two floors up
'Cause maybe who you're lookin' for is"

"Somebody in the next car, somebody on the mornin' train
But today he reads a stranger's face instead

Somewhere out there, oh somewhere out there is somebody
Somebody in the coffee shop that you walk right by every day
He usually reads the paper
He can't forget the things that waitress said
Somewhere out there, there's somebody

Somebody in the next car, somebody on the mornin' train
