[Verse 1]

Here I sit

In my red chapeau

The table’s dimly lit

As I take off my coat

Didn’t you say

That you’d meet me

Here at eight

And I wonder

Are you always

This late

[Verse 2]

Time drips by

Down the window pane

My hopes evaporate and

Come down with the rain

Storms in the forecast

And now it's quarter past

And I wonder

How long will this last

[Chorus]

'Cause I am a soft touch

The face on my watch

And the hands

Tell me as much

I think

It's about time that

The rain and I resign

And I wonder

When will that sun shine

[Verse 3]

The waiter comes through

"Anything for mademoiselle?"

At a table for two

I order for myself

I finish up my tea and I

Bid the night "Bon nuit"

And I won't wonder

What might have been

No I won't wonder

What might have been
