Country Music/country love song

Question
I'm trying to remember a song that was about a man and woman who worked in the same office.  The song was sung by the man.  Some of the words went something like "they don't know what I know..."  It was a very sweet song about their relationship and the fact that no one would ever guess they were involved and how wonderful she was.

Answer
Hi Kathy!  The song I think you're looking for is Doug Stone's "In A Different Light."  I've included the lyrics for you below.  What a great song!  Hope this helps!

Artist: Doug Stone
Song: In A Different Light
Album: In a Different Light

Every morning I watch you walk in to the office with your business suit and matching shoes
With your hair pulled up neatly, you tug at your glasses and you sit down, just two desks down.
I watch you in the flourescent glare, and my mind drifts away somewhere

And I see you in a different light, with your hair falling down and love in your eyes
In my mind, you’re a beautiful sight, I see you, in a different light,
Just the way I saw you last night.

The other girls in the office, the guys always notice when they walk by, but you’re not the type.
They don’t know what I know, some things just don’t show in tailored tweed, that’s fine with me.
Let them all think what they want to, as for me when I look at you

I see you in a different light, with your hair falling down and love in your eyes.
In my mind, you’re a beautiful sight, I see you in a different light
Just the way I saw you last night.

I see you in a different light, with your hair falling down and love in your eyes.
In my mind, you're a beautiful sight, I see you in a different light.
Just the way I saw you last night.

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
