| Sittiin' in a dim cafe
|
| Listenin' while the jukebox play
|
| The songs I like to hear when I’m alone
|
| Thinkin' of my wasted past
|
| Wonderin' if someday at last
|
| I win the sweetest love I’ve ever known
|
| Then all at once I saw her
|
| Arm in arm with my best friend
|
| Heartbreak can’t be far away
|
| 'Cause heartaches just walked in
|
| I watched her as she smiled at him
|
| And though the tiny lights were dim
|
| I could see the love light
|
| Shining in her eyes
|
| With aching heart and trembling hand
|
| I stood and watched another man
|
| Hold the girl I wanted for my wife
|
| And as the teardrops started
|
| I thought of things that might have been
|
| Heartbreak can’t be far away
|
| 'Cause heartaches just walked in
|
| --- Instrumental ---
|
| And then my poor heart skipped a beat
|
| She took the table next to me
|
| She didn’t even notice I was there
|
| She looked around and just by chance
|
| Our eyes met in a casual glance
|
| She smiled and it was more than I could bare
|
| How could she know the way I feel
|
| To her I’m just a friend
|
| Heartbreak can’t be far away
|
| 'Cause heartaches just walked in… |
