I didn’t want a booth
Not this time anyway
I wanted it to be out in the open
Sometimes it’s better that way

The drinks didn’t matter
Or the song I heard them sing
After the first glass
You drink whatever they bring

It took all my life for her to know
But she only wanted to talk about tomorrow
I said how can we know about love
When all you think about is your sorrow?

What can you tell me about love
It’s as if only you know about forever
Yet the demands you have place upon me
Tell me that love’s name is still never

I wanted to reach across and touch your hand
But you reached for mine first
I saw you smile and softly speak my name
But you left without quenching my thirst

It took all my life for her to know
She thought I only knew words to borrow
The love I gave her once was enough
But now only promises can love her tomorrow
