Sittiing in a dim cafe
Listening while the jukebox plays
The songs I like to hear
When I'm alone
Thinking of my wasted past
Wondering 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 heartache 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 heartache just walked in
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 bare
How could she know the way I feel?
To her I'm just a friend
Heartbreak can't be far away
Cause heartache just walked in
