Matinee - Vaughn Monroe

Matinee, seats for two,

I was there, where were you?

Matinee, curtain call,

And a hush through the hall.

I had hoped you’d arrive

As the stage came alive

With a show about a boy

Who loved a girl as I love you!

When they kissed it tore my heart out,

Once our love was like this;

And I acted every part out

As I thought of your kiss!

Matinee, seats for two,

I was there but where were you?

Then, like us, they had a quarrel

And she left him alone,

But their story has a moral

That we both should have known;

Love that’s true never did run smooth!

Matinee, true to life,

With the joy and the strife!

They were sad as could be;

That was you, that was me!

But they kissed at the finale,

And my heart melted away!

Matinee, seats for two,

I was there, where were you today?

Matinee, true to life,

With the joy and the strife!

They were sad as could be;

That was you, that was me!

But they kissed at the finale,

And my heart melted away!

Matinee, seats for two,

I was there, where were you today?
