And Then You're Gone

And Then You're Gone - Pink Martini

My dear Lorenzo you take my hand

And understand the tears that I have cried

We like the candles and pour the wine

And laugh as if you'll never leave my side

You take me in your arms and tell me

That I'll always be the only one

And then you're gone

You come to see me on a Saturday

Presenting heenies knowing just what to say

We dance until the break of dawn

I turn my back and then you're gone

Swirling in a sea of stars

Swirling to the strum of guitars

No one tangos why the way you do

But now my dancing days woth you are through

You think I miss you each time you disappear

Maybe I used to but it's becoming clear

I know your tricks I 've heard your songs

You swear your love and then you're gone

Remember last time it was a perfect day

You tooke me sailing and then you sailed away

Now here you are outside my door

You want back in just like before

Well save your breath don't make me yawn

You've had your chance now just be gone
