Don McLean - Empty Chairs lyrics
[Don McLean - Empty Chairs lyrics]
I feel the trembling tingle
Of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers and
The moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering
Through my windowpane
Like gypsy moths that dance
Around a candle flame
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
Moonlight used to bathe the
Contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all
Around the pillowcase
And the fragrance of your flowers
Rest beneath my head
A sympathy bouquet left with
A love that's dead
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
And evening brings the memories
I can't forget
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
And empty clothes that drape and
Fall on empty chairs
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
Of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers and
The moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering
Through my windowpane
Like gypsy moths that dance
Around a candle flame
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
Moonlight used to bathe the
Contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all
Around the pillowcase
And the fragrance of your flowers
Rest beneath my head
A sympathy bouquet left with
A love that's dead
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
And evening brings the memories
I can't forget
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
And empty clothes that drape and
Fall on empty chairs
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
