[Instrumental] [Verse 1] The clock strikes two, the lights burn low, Another night, another show. A half-full glass, a vacant chair, And your perfume still lingers there. The piano sighs, the trumpet cries, I paint a smile to hide my eyes. The crowd applauds, the band plays on, But darling, you have long been gone. [Chorus] So pour me one more, bartender, please, I've lost my heart somewhere overseas. He kissed me once beneath the moon, Then left me with a broken tune. And when the last cigarette is gone, I'll still be singing our old song. For some hearts break and some hearts mend, But mine keeps waiting till the end. [Verse 2] I wore my pearls, I wore my pride, And swallowed every tear I cried. He took the spring, he left the rain, And taught my heart to love in vain. Now every stranger looks like him, Each midnight dance grows cold and dim. I know the truth, I know he's free, But there's a fool still left in me. [Chorus] So pour me one more, bartender, please, I've lost my heart somewhere overseas. He kissed me once beneath the moon, Then left me with a broken tune. And when the last cigarette is gone, I'll still be singing our old song. For some hearts break and some hearts mend, But mine keeps waiting till the end. [Outro – softly, almost spoken] The lights go out... The night is through... Goodnight, my love... I'm still missing you... [fade instrumental outro]
