It’s 2 am in this big old house The others have long gone to bed I’m nursing one last glass of wine Here's to you, my absent friend The party’s over, the laughter’s died Empty bottles crowd the room My deepest wish that you’d come tonight Plays in my head like a sad, sad tune I could have cried over you But my pride would not allow me to I could have cried over you When you didn’t show tonight All those other guests, Would not have guessed That my interest in them was so slight It hurts but its true This evening was all about you Whistle solo I’ve always been one for the ladies You know just how many I’ve pursued But I never shed a tear over any of them But I sure could’ve cried over you I could have cried over you But pride would not allow me to I could have cried over you When you didn’t show tonight All those other guests Could not have guessed That my interest in them was so slight It hurts but its true This evening was all about you Oh it hurts but its true That I could have cried over you
