Alone

I'm down at the bar with some of my friends

Havin' a few beers

I see a girl sittin' all alone

Wonderin' what she's doin' here by herself

Drinkin'

a lonely beer

What's her name? What's her story?

Why does she look sad with all that worry?

Is she stood up or just waiting for a date that's running late?

But it looks

As if no one is coming

I ordered two more beers

And took them over

Sliding her cold one

Across the table

I just sat there

Not saying a word

Waiting for her to come around

I wanted to ask her name

But let the silence stand

She reached across the table

And grabbed my hand

She held on tight and with the other

She drank the cold beer down

She didn't say a word except for

I'll buy the next round

She let go of my hand as she went to the bar to get two more beers

On her way back she smiled and wiped away her tears

She didn't say anything

We toasted with our bottles

Then we tipped them back once more

She grabbed my hand, pulling me out

Headed for the dance floor

She grabbed my neck and held on tight

Laying her head on my chest

All I could do was hold her tight

And dance long into the night

Whoever she was waiting for

Never came around

I gladly didn't cause

I might not have found

The girl sittin' all
