Does anyone know what this song is called?

Question

There's a song about this guy in a diner or something and he's talking to the waitress about his love problems and she says maybe the girl he's looking for is someone he sees everyday. Then he's at work and thinks that it might be the girl in the elevator that he works with. Then at the end, it's actually the waitrtess. I haven't heard this song in a long time and I was wondering what it's called.

it's a country song

Answer 1

The song is called "Somebody," and it's by Reba McEntire.

Answer 2

It's Reba's song called Somebody the lyrics are :

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 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
But 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 strangers 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 on by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Hope that helps :)

It looks like Alicia Keys is a good bet from the other responses, but if that's not it, if you can quote even a few of the words, put them in quotes and search the internet. It will probably pop right up.
