Cocktails at Eight Lyrics by Deaf School

2nd Honeymoon

0

Oh I was helpless in her hands though
Sweet mystery of life was there
A whiff of moonlit silver sands oh
Disappearing into air
She said she didn't want a romance
Just something casual to wear
Thought I might just have a slight chance
To make a rendezvous with her
We made it cocktails at eight
It was a sure-fire date
And I was over the moon
But I was mooning too soon
She was dame with real class
I thought I'd have one more glass
And when I looked at my watch
It was the hour at last
But still my date didn't show
I watched the time come and go
And so I drank like a boy
And oh the night went so slow
But still my date didn't show
I watched the time come and go
And so I drank like a boy
And oh the night went so slow
Oh now the waiter was grinning
At this devil with women
Both his eyes on the door
Oh yes he'd seen this before
I told the barman my tale
As he was ringing my sale
He said you can't win them all
And asked if that would be all
