[Verse 1]

Fogged-in in Dallas on my way to LA

Staring up at the screen, all flights were delayed

When a voice from behind me asked

"Stranger, how have you been?"


[Verse 2]

Well, I was caught off guard, when I saw her face

Stumbled my way through an awkward embrace

Then somehow I managed to say

"Good to see you again"


[Pre-Chorus 1]

We caught up on old friends

Caught up on old times

But all through the small talk

It kept burning through my mind


[Chorus 1]

Does she think about the nights we spent on Crystal Lake?

Wrapped up in a blanket 'til the break of day

So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way

I didn't ask and she didn't say


[Verse 3]

Trading stories and pictures of kids

Things we're gonna do and things we never did

'Til stranded in that moment

Not sure what to say


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Then she broke the silence

With her little shy smile

She brought up the weather

But all the while


[Chorus 2]

I wondered if she thinks about Jackson Hole

Nights beside the fire and angels in the snow

So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way

I didn't ask and she didn't say


[Bridge]

We said our goodbyes, swore we'd stay in touch

Then we went our separate ways knowing no one ever does


[Chorus 3]

But I couldn't help but wonder as I walked away

If things had turned out different where would we be today

So many times I've wondered does she think of me that way

I didn't ask and she didn't say


[Outro]

No, I didn't ask and she didn't say
