Separate Tables
At separate tables we sit down to eat
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night
I only wish you knew how much
You've been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes
I think about you when all my day is done
Wondering what you are doing now
Are you lonely too?

Because I - I miss you here tonight
And I wish you were by my side
And I don't want to let go;

At separate tables we sit down to write
The separate letters that never see the light
If only we could just agree
To read between the lines;

I want to see you and I know what I will say
We must be crazy to throw it all away
Never knowing what is lost
Before it's all too late;

And I - I miss you here tonight
And I wish you were by my side
And I don't want to let go;
Yes I - I miss you here tonight
And when I hold you by my side
Well I'm not going to let go
