Coffee Shop Girl

Oval Opus

Three stories on High Street,

A beanery down below;

I make that trip everyday,

I'm a face that they all know.



With a guitar in my hand,

And a thousand words to say;

She brings me a drink,

And then quietly walks away.



No matter how I feel,

Her smile makes me all right;

My feelings for her,

I keep them bottled up inside.



She's the most beautiful thing in this world,

She's the coffee shop girl...



I fill the holes in the air

As they talk among themselves;

People's hopes and dreams

Transcend like angel's tails.



Just a glance across the room

As she's standing by the door;

Staring out the window,

And wondering if there's anything more.



No matter how I feel,

Her smile makes me all right;

My feelings for her,

I keep them bottled up inside.



She's the most beautiful thing in this world,

She's the coffee shop girl...



The night winds down,

As I play my last refrain;

The candles have all burned out,

And only a few remain.



Her lonely heart fades,

As they shuffle through the door;

Enchanted with the revelry,

Of the nights like this before.



No matter how I feel,

Her smile makes me all right;

My feelings for her,

I keep them bottled up inside.



She's the most beautiful thing in this world,

She's the coffee shop girl...
