Sunday Night At The Café

[Intro]
(piano instrumental)

[Verse 1]
We open this scene, he's getting his shave
He's going to the city later that day
His suit's pressed and clean
You ask for money, he'll cave
You ask to go with him, but you know what he'll say
He'll say:

[Pre-Chorus]
"No, no, you're needed here, you'll succeed in here, shed tears and bleed in here, plant a seed in here"
So you know what you do

[Chorus]
You go without permission
You do what you think's right
You see him around the corner
So you're hiding in fright
Then you meet your perfect woman
Is it some sort of sign?
Because it's real
Not just another dream in mind

[Verse 2]
You're taking a walk with your hats and your canes
You don't have no money
But you brag anyway
The whole way you talk, you sneak on the train
She makes you feel this feeling that never goes away

[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "Hey boy, I need you here, I see you here, you're succeeding here"
So what do you do?

[Chorus]
You take her out to dinner
At this cafe you knew
She doesn't know you have no money
So you pretend like you do
Because if she's the perfect woman
Then you wanna treat her right
Because it's real
Not just another dream in mind

[Verse 3]
But the cafe is dancing
Which isn't your strength
But just because you love her
You do it anyway
She puts her head on your shoulder

[Chorus]
So you dance like no one's watching
Because you know that it's right
You see her start to smile
So you hold her so tight
You realize she's the perfect woman
And stars have aligned
Suddenly it's real
Not just another dream in mind

[Bridge]
You lose your job
And then you seem
To realize all of your mistakes
Your faith is gone
Your hopes and dreams
Then your heart begins to break
But she's still there besides you
Yeah, she's there besides you
She'll always be besides you

[Chorus]
So you quit your job on Monday
Turn to the wall painted gray
And the calendar tells you
That it's only been a day
But somehow life feels so perfect at this moment in time
Because it's real
Not just another dream in mind
Yes, yes, it's all real
Never another dream in mind

[Outro]
