Corner Cafe

How do you expect me to go about my day When the street signs in the neighborhood still spell your name The bookstore and the city park keep a record of our dates Your ghost, it follows everywhere, even onto the train Do you remember the corner cafe? We sat there with our books, feels like yesterday Everywhere I look, I still see your face I think I might have to move away How is it the less I try, the more I recall The way he kissed my forehead, I remember it all I guess this is the irony, the catch 22 That by trying to forget, all of the thoughts come back anew Do you remember the corner cafe? We sat there with our books, feels like yesterday Everywhere I look, I still see your face I think I might have to move away So what an unexpected and pleasant surprise To meet somebody new while in the grocery line You made some clever small talk 'bout the rain outside For the first time in a while I felt the clouds subside Do you know the way to the corner cafe? I'll find a table for two where we can sit all day I think I might forget all about his face I think I won't have to move away I think I might have to stay
