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 
'Cause 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 hangin' on 
All she could say is she thinks his name was John 
 
She thinks his name was John
