Walking In The Woods Lyrics - Pursuit Of Happiness

I think it was her skirt that first attracted my eye 

I looked at her shoes and then her face 

She seemed soft and genuine 

She smiled when she caught me so I diverted my look 

And when I lifted my head she was back inside her book 

And I wished I could walk over and just say hello 

She's the kind of girl it would be nice to know 

But that's not the kind of thing that you're likely to do 

On a subway train at eight a.m. are you 

[Chorus] 

We walk the streets like we are walking in the woods 

You never know when you see a pair of eyes 

If you're seeing a friend 

Two weeks later I was riding the same train 

I saw her face and then I read the name 

It said she'd been beaten pretty bad 

And there was a picture of her grief-stricken Mom and Dad 

And I wondered what happened to her books and her things
