Di Emes - Stranger in the Café Lyrics

Saw him by the window, book in hand
Exploring tales of a distant land
I sat down, tried not to stare
But something about him kept me there
He glanced up, and then back down
Like he knew me from around
I felt a pull I couldn't place
Do I recognize that face?
Who's this stranger in the café?
There's a magic that I can't ignore
Do I know this stranger in the café?
Feels like our paths have crossed before
Who's this stranger in the café?
He left a note, paid his bill
I grabbed it quick, couldn't sit still
It read, "If you remember, don't leave."
Now I had to believe
I followed him, he didn't run
Turned the corner, the truth begun
He smiled and said, "Do you recall?
We met once, but you never called."
Who's this stranger in the café?
There's a magic that I can't ignore
Do I know this stranger in the café?
Feels like our paths have crossed before
Who's this stranger in the café?
That night years ago, I walked away
And left him there with words to say
He was the one I left behind
And now he's back, the one I couldn't find
With every laugh, the past unspools
And under the moonlight, we break the rules
No more running, I'm ready to stay
This time I won't let love slip away
Every memory floods back in waves
From laughter shared to the love we saved
He laughed and said, "Now it's your turn to stay."
No longer the stranger at the café
Who's this stranger in the café?
There's a magic that I can't ignore
Do I know this stranger in the café?
Feels like our paths have crossed before
Who's this stranger in the café?
Who's this stranger in the café?
There's a magic that I can't ignore
Do I know this stranger in the café?
Feels like our paths have crossed before
Who's this stranger in the café?
Who's this stranger in the café?
