Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I know how he cares, how strong his love can be
When he believes it's real
Oh, I've been there
I know how he feels
[Verse 2]
As long as I kept him out of site
I kept from goin' out of my mind
Tried to believe that leavin' him
Was some how justified
[PreChorus]
But tonight there's no denying
What a love like his is worth
He once looked at me the way he's lookin' at her
What a lucky girl
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
And it's killin' me
Oh, I know how he feels
