I saw you first in the smoky café light

Where I'd come in from the frozen winter night

And I saw a face that put the stars to shame

I loved you 'fore I ever knew your name

And my heart sank, lost without a trace

And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face

I've seen you shine in the summer, spring and fall

But it's winter when I love you best of all

And I've seen you in the spotlight hard and bright

And I've seen you in the shadows of the night

And when I see you coming I can feel my cold 

heart race

And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face

I heard you singing to that empty hall

And I heard the joy that echoed off the walls

And I realized when all is said and done 

That youth is never wasted on the young

And I don't believe the silence of this place

And it's a lucky man that gets to kiss your face
