lyrics

He orders coffee... she pours iced tea
Her mind is somewhere else, she wishes she could be
He can see she's broken... it's right there in her eyes
I'm sorry sir, she says to him as she begins to cry
I shouldn't be here, not today
Shedding teardrops at the Happy Cup Cafe
I did my best... I thought he knew
Where did I go wrong?... what did I do to make him blue?
I wish I knew
​
She reminds him of a girl he left behind
Many years ago, once upon a time
How he turned his back... how he walked away
Afraid to go but even more afraid to stay
He'd dreamed of freedom, not knowing what it means
So he threw the dice and sacrificed all they might have been
Foolish boy... he loved that girl
Foolish foolish boy
​
The waitress sits beside him... he lights her cigarette
Takes her hand and looks her in the eye
He tells her sometimes that's just the way it goes
Young men can be such fools, heaven only knows
But when they're older... and wiser
And maybe look a lot like me
They'll find themselves alone just trying to while the time away
Choking back the teardrops in the Happy Cup Cafe
Regrets? We had a few.. sweetheart me and you
And today is just the kind of day
For drinking coffee.... in the Happy Cup Cafe
For drinking coffee.... in the Happy Cup Cafe
