She Thinks His Name Was John Lyrics

She can account for
All of the men in her past
Where they are now, who they married
How many kids they have

She knew their backgrounds
Family and friends
Oh, A few she even
Talks to now and then

But there is one
She can't put her finger on
There is one
Who never leaves her thoughts

And she thinks his name was John

A chance meeting
A party a few years back
Broad shoulders and blue eyes
His hair was so black

He was a friend of friend
You could say
She let his smile
Just sweep her away

And in her heart
She knew that it was wrong
But too much wine
And she left his bed at dawn

And she thinks his name was John

~

Now each day is one day
That's left in her life
She won't know love, have a marriage
Or sing lullabies

She lays all alone
And cries herself to sleep
Because she let a stranger
Kill her hopes and her dreams

And all her friends say what a pity what a loss
And in the end when she was barely hanging on

All she could say
Was she thinks his name was John
She thinks his name was John
