While I Regret The Way We Met
© Copyright APRA Graham Henderson 2004
I come here quite often so, I’ve seen you before.
As you sat, all alone, over by the door.
And while I regret, the way we met.
It’s turned out how I’d hoped for.
And my only wish is.
I’d thought of it before.
But you always looked, so distant.
And I’m inclined, to be shy.
But not so shy I was going to let.
A chance of meeting you, roll on by.
I knew, you were looking for something.
A friend, some, company.
And I was looking for something too, And.
You sure looked like something to me. But.
Men had tried to pick you up.
Offering drinks, you refused
So I chickened out all because.
I thought you’d be amused.
Instrumental
But here, we are, we’ve spoken.
The silence, has broken, finally.
And though I regret, the way we met.
I’m more sorry, I didn’t do it before.
Yeah here we are, chatting away.
Like long time friends, who do it every day.
Now there’s a thought, I’d like to hold a while.
I suppose you know you have a lovely smile.
What a pity that’s last drinks call.
‘Cause, we’ve just met after all.
But you better give me your address.
‘Cause I think I should launder your dress
It was a real mean trick I agree
But it sure panned out for me.
‘Cause I was dying to catch your eye
And I’m inclined, to be shy.
What’s that. If I hadn’t let my drink go.
It would’ve been me who wore the flow?
Then, I don’t regret, the way we met.
You can bet this is a day I won’t forget.
