"Table for Two," A LOVE SONG

VERSE:

I sit at a table for two,

With an empty chair beside me.

Couples chat in other corners,

The waiter tries to take my order.

I tell him you’re not here yet.

I look out the café window,

And count the passing minutes.

The rain begins to fall.

                                    

CHORUS:                               

Sometimes I think you’ll never come,

And my heart will never know love.

Please come soon, I’m saving room,

At my table for two.

 

VERSE:                                   

Now it’s late in the day,

And others want your seat.

I explain it’s already taken.

They look at me like I’m crazy.

I tell them you’re not here yet.

My stomach starts to rumble,

With growing pain and hunger.

The sun starts to set.

 

CHORUS:                               

Sometimes I think you’ll never come,

And my heart will never know love.

Please come soon, I’m saving room,

At my table for two.

 

BRIDGE:                                

I wonder if I should leave.

Maybe you forgot me,

Or you just got lost along the way.

 

CHORUS:                               

Sometimes I think you’ll never come,

And my heart will never know love.

Please come soon, I’m saving room,

At my table for two.     


TAG:

Then, I rise to greet you.

I thought I'd never meet you. 

At my table for two, at my table for two,

At my table for two.
