I saw a friend today it had been a while

And we forgot each other's names

But it didn't matter because deep inside

The feeling still remained the same

We talked of knowing one before you've met

And how you feel more than you see

And other worlds that lie in spaces in between

And angels you can see

And all the faces that I know

Have that same familiar glow

I think I must have known them somewhere once before

All the faces that I know

And all the faces

We see each and every day

When I get home at night

You're the face I need

And when my mind's absorbed on my private little screen

And I'm walking blind through a sea of unknown men

I hear a voice reminding me there across the street

Walks an old forgotten friend

We don't have to say a word

It's really better left unsaid

Just lights through eyes that recognize

All the faces that I know

All the faces that I know

And all the faces

We see each and every day

When I get home at night

You're the face I need

When I get home at night

You're the only face I need
