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
