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 our love song
and the 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 to hide the pain
it's quite easy to let go
then the song began 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 our love song
and the melody
and even if the words are not so tender
she will always remember
the way it used to be
