When I heard that familiar voice
My heart stopped dead in it's tracks
Across the room I could see him there
A ghost from my past

But he's too caught up to notice me
She must be his new love
I never dreamed that it would hurt this much
It's just

I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
Oh how he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
'Cause I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
And I know how he feels

As long as I kept him outta sight
I kept from going out of my mind
Tried to believe that leavin' him
Was somehow justified
But tonight there's no denying
What a love like his is worth
He once looked at me
The way he's looking at her
What a lucky girl

I know how he feels
How warm his touch is
Oh how he feels
How soft his kiss is
And it cuts right down to the bone
'Cause I let him go
I know how he cares
How strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh I've been there
And I know how he feels
