lyrics

I heard you mumble through your apple crumble as you asked to kindly see the bill
Upon you I fixed my eyes as you paid for your peice of pie, and my heart had never soared quite so high
But before I had the chance to pursue our sweet romance you had settled your check and dashed out the front door
Frozen to my seat, with a tingle in my feet, I watched a solitary tear drop to the floor.

So now I wait and see each day, at KC Peaches cafe
If the lady of my dreams, she will return.
I've tried every tart and cake, every coffee, tea and bake.
Hoping to find the one for which I yearn.

The woman of my dreams, it seems has not been seen or heard from,
By any of the staff old or new.
But still I sit, I'll never quit,
Not until I catch, at least one more fleeting glimpse of you.

I've tried the morning shift, the afternoon as well, I've even stayed past closing just to see
But as I feared it would apear, you surely are not from here, as if you we're you'd surely have bumped into me.
Unless of course, by unfair fate, we've simply passed each other by, and always looked the other way, and never caught the eye.
Or perhaps you see me here, and avoid the place because, and when I think this thought I begin to cry.

I'd given up all hope, it was one year to the day, I ordered apple crumble like you did
Then my heart stopped when I saw you there, I sat across but couldn't speak, that was when with a giggle you said
You ordered apple crumble, my mother loved it so, sadly my folks have passed away
I travel here once a year, on their anniversary, it was here where they first met, this very day.

So now I sit and eat each day at KC Peaches cafe
With the gal of my dreams by my side
We've had every tart and cake, every coffee tea and bake
So if at first you don't succeed try and try

We'll take our sweet deserts together by and by.
