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 spaced
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
(Waiter: we're closing up
Amalia: so soon?
Waiter: It looks like your friend didn't get here
Amalia: I'm sure there's a very good reason
Waiter: then he'll write to you
And you can patch it up
And I hope you'll be very happy
Amalia: oh, thank you)
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
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 spaced
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
(Waiter: we're closing up
Amalia: so soon?
Waiter: It looks like your friend didn't get here
Amalia: I'm sure there's a very good reason
Waiter: then he'll write to you
And you can patch it up
And I hope you'll be very happy
Amalia: oh, thank you)
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
