Lyrics An Empty Cup and a Broken Date - Buddy Holly & The Crickets

An Empty Cup and a Broken Date

One lonely night — at this drive-in
And now I know — what a fool I’ve been
She was to meet me (an empty cup, a broken date)
We had a date (a broken date, an empty cup)
A date at seven — I dreamed of heaven
Now it’s way past eight
She just drove by — with another guy
No wonder I can’t help but cry
To think she never cared — just tears me up Now all I have to show for love — is this empty cup
Just like this Coke — my love is gone
I’ve hit the bottom — now I’m all alone
