    Basically C F G all through.
    I thought, I thought I saw you on the bus today , through the window, staring back at me,
    I began to wave but then I knew deep down it couldn't be , I thought, I thought I saw you on the bus today
    I thought, I thought I saw you at the fair today , being carried by the crowd you turned and looked at me ,
    and once again I knew deep down it couldn't be, but I thought, I thought I saw you at the fair today,
    this is not the first time this has happened to me, seems like everywhere I go, it's your face I see,
    you have become so much more than just a memory , because this is not the first time this has happened to me.
    You once told me, told me you would never leave , in sickness and in health you would always be there for me,
    but God had other plans, other plans that we didn't see , even though, you'd told me told me you would never leave.
    I thought , I thought I saw you in the park today, I called your name but you were just too far from me , my head says let you go but my heart won't let it be , and I thought, I thought I saw you in the park today.
    this is not the first time this has happened to me, seems like everywhere I go it's your face I see,
    you have become so much more than just a memory , because this is not the first time this has happened to me.
    I thought, I thought I saw you on the bus today

      He was not; I was being tempered, which comes at great cost.

    Im at a loss for words. I just love your original songs so much, they pull at my soul to listen "you have become so much more than just a memory , because this is not the first time this has happened to me." your lyrics are so thought out and its so magical. "I thought , I thought I saw you in the park today, I called your name but you were just too far from me , my head says let you go but my heart won't let it be , and I thought, I thought I saw you in the park today." The emotion you put into these songs and lyrics touch my heart and soul and make me rewatch in aw of your pure, raw, talent its beautiful.

    This song came back to me today and had to sift through references to taylor swift in my google search before I found what I was really looking for. This gem. I'm so sad that less than 10K ears have heard this wonderfully melancholic reminder of humanity and the hard part of love we all ignore until it comes to find us.
    I've seen your covers too, but this original really hits the hardest for me. Much love friend.

    I had a old friend of mine, she had to move away because of something terrible I and my family caused. And sometimes I keep on seeing her, although she’s in another country now. We were both best friends, she was one of my first crushes even. I can’t even remember her last name. We were best friends. This song made me think of her, she was such a kind, beautiful and sweet girl, she deserved better than what she got. We were both kids, and I hope to truly see her just one last time to tell her how sorry I am. Thank you for this song Frank, it’s truly beautiful and touched a young soul like me. It’s a warming feeling.

    Between a 4 month period, I saw my Grandma succumb to cancer, and my friend to himself, and through this time of grieving, I keep images of them at my bedside to keep them with me, to accept they're now with Christ, but yet still leave a wonderful stamp on my heart. Although outside of my room, I still see my friend as I sit at my buddy's house where we'd all chuckle together with Guitar Hero, or as I sit in the passenger seat, driving by where my Grandparents met to eat almost every time our family came together. It's a fragmented hallucination that even the term can't do justice, as they truly cannot be seen. This song was beautiful Frank. Once I get some free time to learn it, I bet she'd love to hear this song, even if she's only now a headstone. Nonetheless, I'll never truely lose them. 💙
