Guess Who I Saw Today - Carmen McRae, Ray Bryant

You’re so late getting home from the office

Did you miss your train?

Were you caught in the rain?

No, don’t bother to explain

Can I fix you a quick martini?

As a matter of fact

I’ll have one with you

For to tell you the truth

I’ve had quite a day too

Guess who I saw today, my dear

I went in town to shop around for something new

And thought I’d stop and have a bite when I was through

I looked around for someplace near

And it occurred to me where I had parked the car

There was a most attractive French cafe and bar

It really wasn’t very far

The waiter showed me to a dark, secluded corner

And when my eyes became accustomed to the gloom

I saw two people at the bar who were so in love

Even I could spot it clear across the room

Guess who I saw today, my dear

I’ve never been so shocked before

I headed blindly through the door

They didn’t see me passing through

Guess who I saw today?

Guess who I saw today?

Guess who I saw today?

I saw you
