LONELY TABLE JUST FOR ONE,
|
IN A BRIGHT AND CROWDED ROOM.
|
WHILE THE MUSIC HAS BEGUN,
|
I DRINK TO MEMORIES IN THE GLOOM
|
|
THOUGH THE MUSIC'S STILL THE SAME,
|
IT HAS A BITTERSWEET REFRAIN.
|
|
SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE, BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS
|
AND MAYBE, IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW
|
SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG, AND A MELODY
|
AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER,THE WAY IT USED TO BE.
|
FRIENDS STOP BY AND SAY HELLO,
|
AND I LAUGH AND HIDE THE PAIN
|
IT'S QUITE EASY 'TIL THEY GO,
|
THEN THE SONG BEGINS AGAIN
|
|
SO PLAY THE SONG THE WAY IT USED TO BE BEFORE SHE LEFT AND CHANGED IT ALL TO SADNESS
|
AND MAYBE IF SHE'S PASSING BY THE WINDOW
|
SHE WILL HEAR A LOVE SONG, AND A MELODY AND EVEN IF THE WORDS ARE NOT SO TENDER SHE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE WAY IT USED TO BE
|
