At a diner down on Broadway
they make small talk
When she brings his eggs
and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
and tells her he's about
ready to give up
That's when she says,
''I've been there before
Keep on lookin'
'cause maybe who
you're lookin' for is''
Somebody in the next car,
somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk
right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
but never really see
Somewhere out there
is somebody
Across town in a
crowded elevator
he can't forget the things
that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
but today he reads
a stranger's face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
from two floors up
Maybe she's the one,
maybe he could fall
in love with
Somebody in the next car,
somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk
right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
but never really see
Somewhere out there
is somebody
Now they laugh about
the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both
missed until that day
When he saw his future
in her eyes
instead of just
another friendly face
And he wonders why
he searched so long
When she was always there
at that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car,
somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
that you walk
right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
but never really see
Somewhere out there
oh, somewhere out there
is somebody
