The sun setting on the desert road
My muscle car’s tank maybe quarter full
I saw a quaint gas station sitting in the sand
Only one other car at the station
A yellow VW Beetle, next to it
The most beautiful woman I’d ever seen
Tall, brunette in a floral sundress
I park at the pump and get out
I look at her, she at me and she smiles
I feel it, the heavy chested warmth
Love

I wake up in my bed
I look around for her confused
It was dream

Who was she
She wasn’t a famous actress or musician
Not someone I know in person
How could I forget that face

Was she just a stranger I passed in a crowd
just a glimpse that saved her image in my mind
