From my corner chair, I can watch you there,
You seem so happy and wear a smile,
I want to show that I care, but all I can do is stare,
I feel so lonely and have no smile.
The band begins to play, and you’re swept away,
In the dancing I can see your smile,
There’s nothing I can say, the music lasts till day,
Holding you all the men do smile.
I leave at morning light, I’ve watched you all the night,
I’ll take the memory of your smile,
I know that it’s not right, my courage is so slight,
But I exists for the glimpse of a smile.
I leave my corner chair, and you are still there,
You seem so happy and wear a smile.
