Guess Who I Saw Today

Guess Who I Saw Today - Carmen McRae/Ray Bryant

You're so late getting home from the office

Did you miss your train

Where you caught in the rain

No don't bother to explain

Can I fix you a quick martini

As a matter of fact

I'll have one with you

For to tell you the truth

I've had quite a day too

Guess who I saw today my dear

I went in town to shop around for something new

And thought I'd stop

And have a bite

When I was through

I looked around for someplace near

And it occurred to me

Where I had parked the car

There was a most attractive

French cafe and bar

It really wasn't very far

The waiter showed me to a dark

Secluded corner

And as my eyes became accustomed to the gloom

I saw two people at the bar

Who were so much in love

That even I could spot it clear across the room

Guess who I saw today my dear

I've never been so shocked before

I headed blindly through the door

They didn't see me passing through

Guess who I saw today

Guess who I saw today

Guess who I saw today

I saw you
