An Empty Cup And A Broken Date

An Empty Cup And A Broken Date - Buddy Holly

One lonely night

One lonely night

At this drive-in

At this drive-in

And now I know

And now I know

What a fool I've been

What a fool I've been

She was to meet me

(An empty cup a broken date)

We had a date

(A broken date an empty cup)

A date at seven I dreamed of heaven

Now it's way past eight

She just drove by

She just drove by

With another guy

With another guy

No wonder I

No wonder I

Can't help but cry

By and by

An empty cup a broken date

Now it's way past eight

An empty cup a broken date

To think she never cared

Just tears me up

(A broken date an empty cup)

Now all I have to show for love

Is this empty cup

Just like this Coke

Just like this Coke

My love is gone

My love is gone

I've hit the bottom now I'm all alone

(All alone)
