Sitting at the bar with a paper and pen
I could tell there was something wrong
I'd been trying over half the night
But I couldn't come up with a song
She was standing in the doorway
And her smile caught my eye
She wore shadows like a veil
But she looked like she could cry
We ordered some drinks and she told me her name
I told her that I played guitar
And I was having a terrible time
Trying to write a song in this bar
She just smiled then she looked away
She told me that she thought she could help
Cuz she was having a terrible time
Trying to make it all by herself
She cried
Write a song about me, baby
I'm tired and I'm looking for love
Write a song about me, baby
You know what I'm dreaming of
She was going to be so happy
Life was going to be so good
Then someone she loved threw it all away
She took it the best she could
Sitting at the bar with a paper and pen
Well I think I got that song
And she cries in the lonely night
Wondering what went wrong
She cries
Write a song about me, baby
I'm tired and I'm looking for love
Write a song about me, baby
You know what I'm dreaming of
Echoes in the silence speak
Of dreams that couldn't stay
Melodies of what could've been
Now slowly fade away
Write a song about me, baby
I'm tired and I'm looking for love
Write a song about me. baby
You know what I'm dreaming of.
