Table 44

Tied my apron strings around the front in a bow
Grabbed my tray, pen and paper and walked to the couple in the fourth row

Holding hands reminiscing about old times
A love like that had to be one of a kind

With small talk about school, she found out I write
Her wrinkled eyes lit up and she gave me the best line

The world needs more love songs
About the one that doubles your heartbeat
The one that spreads your wings so far so you know that you can always reach
The world needs more love songs
The kind the keep my grandkids dreaming sweet
The kind where you dance all night to with the love of your life
And then they sweep you off your feet
The world needs more love songs

She said I'm tired of hearing grief all over the radio
What happened to Sinatra and Bennet and all the ones who made sure you're not alone

She thanked me for stirring her coffee 'cause her grips not too great anymore
And for keeping a smile on my face in this dark place and started praying to the lord

Her husband lent his handkerchief and put his hand in hers
He said the world's a wild place but there is one thing I know for sure

The world needs more love songs
About the one that doubles your heartbeat
The one that spreads your wings so far so you know you can always reach
The world needs more love songs
The kind the keep my grandkids dreaming sweet
The kind where you dance all night to with the love of you life
And then they sweep you off your feet
The world needs more love songs
The world needs more love songs

As I was coming around the corner with a coffee pot
He walked her from the front room
Pushed her chair in and placed her napkin back in her lap

He said Darling don't worry because love will never stop
We'll teach all our grandkids to love with all that they've got

She said I have one request of you I promise a good tip
Write the world a love song that they will never forget
