Paroles de Dear Friend

The flowers, the linen, the crystal I see Were carefully chosen for people like me The silver agleam and the candles aglow Your favorite songs on request Each colorful touch in the finest of taste And notice how subtly the tables are placed The music is muted, the lighting is low No wonder I feel so depressed Charming, romantic, the perfect cafe Then as if it isn't bad enough A violin starts to play Candles and wine, tables for two But where are you dear friend? Couples go past me I see how they look So discreetly sympathetic When they see the rose and the book I make believe nothing is wrong How long can I pretend? Please make it right Don't break my heart Don't let it end, dear friend I make believe nothing is wrong How long can I pretend? Please make it right Don't break my heart Don't let it end, dear friend
