Pink Martini - And Then You're Gone lyrics

My dear Lorenzo you take my hand And understand the tears that I have cried We light the candles and pour the wine And laugh as if you'll never leave my side You take me in your arms and tell me That I'll always be the only one And then you're gone You come to see me on a Saturday Presenting peonies knowing just what to say We dance until the break of dawn I turn my back and then you're gone Swirling in a sea of stars Twirling to the strum of guitars No one tangos quite the way you do But now my dancing days with you are through You think I miss you each time you disappear Maybe I used to but it's becoming clear I know your tricks I 've heard your songs You swear your love and then you're gone Remember last time it was a perfect day You took me sailing and then you sailed away Now here you are outside my door You want back in just like before Well save your breath don't make me yawn You've had your chance now just be gone
