Sitting in a Dim Café - Conway Twitty

Heartbreaks can’t be far away

'Cause heartache just walked in.

Sittiin' in the dim cafe

Listenin' while the jukebox plays

The songs I like to hear when I’m alone

Thinkin' of my wasted past

Wonderin' if someday at last

I’ll win the sweetest love

I’ve ever known.

Then all at once I saw him

On the arm with my best friend

Heartbreak can’t be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in.

I watched her as she smiled at him

And though the tiny lights were dim

I could see the love light shining in her eyes

With aching heart and trembling hand

It wasn’t hard to understand

Why she’d someday be his wife.

And as the teardrops started

I thought of things that might have been

Heartbreak can’t be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in.

--- Instrumental ---

And then my poor heart skipped a beat

She took the table next to me

She didn’t even notice I was there

But she looked around and just by chance

Our eyes met in a casual glance

She smiled and it was more than I could bare.

How could he know the way I feel

To him I’m just a friend

Heartbreak can’t be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in.

I smiled and turned the other way

My tremblin' lips just couldn’t say

The way I feel, I wanted to explain

And so I guess you’ll never know

How just a feiend could love you so

And hopes that he is happy just the same.

But here with just a friend

For me it is the end

Heartbreak can’t be far away

'Cause heartaches just walked in.,
