The Ballroom

I walk into the ballroom alone The maitre'd is busy on the phone I wonder where you are As I walk up to the bar and get a drink Ooh, I need to think. Dancing on the floor has begun The couples stroll out one by one Excuse me can I get a light How's the gentleman tonight Where have you gone Something ain't right And I've seen sad ladies in blue Hearts all torn up in two And I've heard stories that I know ain't true. And I feel empty, and confused So many years have gone by Since I looked into your eye My drink is bitter And the ballrooms' crystal glitter leaves me cold I feel so old The ballroom stretches onward for miles A thousand ladies wear satin smiles A golden chandelier Violins in my ear And I'm still looking But I know you're not here. And I've seen sad ladies in blue Hearts all torn up in two And I've heard stories that I know ain't true And I feel empty, and confused And I always thought I'd be here with you Ooh, are you out there Do you hear me when I call Do you remember, do you care at all That I'm lonely lonely lonely without you And I can't stop thinking about you Oh Oh, and I feel empty, and confused
