GYou were sitting in a Ccafe
at a Amtable by the Djuke-box
GMaking cups of Ccoffee last for Amyears
GYou never heard the Cfanfare
never Amsaw the sunshine Drising
Cand the summer slipped in Amunnoticed
from beneath your Dtears
The following verses are played the same as the first,
The pounding big bass rhythm
shook the room, shook your little heart
all the talk that whistled through your ears
You were minding your own buisness
but you were everybody elses
and the summer slipped in unnoticed
from beneath your tears
All the girls around you
were captured by your presence
your lucid features admired and revered
Deep in your eyes I recognise
exhilarating sadness
And the summer slipped in unnoticed
from beneath your tears
This mid section goes as follows
CTime flew bye
DYou moved on
CThe shop street days are Dlong since gone
CAll of the laughter
Dand all of the tears
CI still see your Amlikeness through the Dyears

You were sitting in a cafe

at a table by the juke-box

G C Am

Making cups of coffee last for years

G C

You never heard the fanfare

Am D

never saw the sunshine rising

C Am

and the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears

The following verses are played the same as the first,

The pounding big bass rhythm

shook the room, shook your little heart

all the talk that whistled through your ears

You were minding your own buisness

but you were everybody elses

and the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears

All the girls around you

were captured by your presence

your lucid features admired and revered

Deep in your eyes I recognise

exhilarating sadness

And the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears

This mid section goes as follows

Time flew bye

You moved on

C D

The shop street days are long since gone

All of the laughter

and all of the tears

C Am D

I still see your likeness through the years
