Alone at the bar


Here I am alone again
	Just sitting at the bar,
A beautiful woman walks in and sits down
	Not to near, not to far.

Her Shapely form is more seductive,
	Than any man could possibly dream
I'm sure if you put ice on her
	It would quickly turn to steam.

She orders a Martini
	And she wants it on the Rocks
It takes my breath away
	How sweetly she talks.

The way she is just sitting there
	It's driving me insane!
Why can't I just go over to her
	And simply ask her name?

But I don't know what to do,
	I don't know what to say,
So it looks like in my seat
	Is where I am going to stay.

What's the worst that could happen
	All she could do is say no.
So why am I still here?
	Why don't I just go?

She pays for her Martini 
	And slowly drinks it down.
For some strange reason I'm feeling
	In her my true love could be found.

Her eyes they seem to sparkle
	Like a diamond in the sky
I should go over and talk to her,
	But I'm scared and I don't know why.


When she finishes her drink
	She turns and walks away,
Now my chance is over,
	But did I expect her to stay?


So once again I'm all alone
	Just sitting at the bar.......
