"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, at my table for two,

At my table for two.
