ALONE AT A TABLE FOR TWO
(Billy Hill / Ted Fiorito / Daniel Richman)
Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians (vocal: Carmen Lombardo) - 1936
Alone at a table for two
Alone in our own rendezvous
The music is playing
Your favourite request
But I hear a blue note
The band must have guessed
Why I'm alone at a table for two
Pretending I am waiting for you
And even the flowers at your place have withered
They know that we're through
I'm alone at a table for two
**There is an opening verse, but
we only know the first line.....
"Usual time, the usual place, the usual orchids and wine"
