An empty bench in Soho Square
 Forgotten now I turn away
 Just save me for a rainy day
 But don't be sorry
 I don't want to hear it baby

 My feet froze in the winter chill
 I knew I'd probably get ill
 But I was praying we could fill
 An empty bench and still
 You're so sorry
 But I don't want your pity baby

 It's all yours now please don't tease
 The pigeons shiver in the naked trees
 And I'll do anything but
 Please don't hurt me
 Just kiss me quick
 'Cos it's my birthday
 And I feel so small
 I don't know why
 But no I'm not too old to cry

 An empty bench in Soho Square
 If you'd have come you'd have found me there
 But you never did 'cos you don't care
 And I'm so sorry baby
 I don't mind loneliness too much
 But when I met you I was touched
 And that was good enough for me
 But do we always have to be sorry
 Why can't we just be happy baby?

 One day you'll be waiting there
 No empty bench in Soho Square
 And we'll dance around like we don't care
 And I'll be much too old to cry
 And you'll kiss me quick in case I die
 Before my birthday

 One day you'll be waving there
 No empty bench in Soho Square
 No I don't know the reason why
 I'll love you till the day I die
 But one day you'll be waiting there
 Come summertime in Soho Square
 And I'll be painting stars up in the sky
 Before I get too old to cry
 Before my birthday
 I hope I see those pigeons fly
 Before my birthday
 In Soho Square on my birthday
