Sittiin' in a dim cafe listenin' while the jukebox plays

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

[ fiddle ]

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 bear

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
