'I STILL MISS SOMEONE"

"I STILL MISS SOMEONE"

The doorman greets her with a smile
Says "No charge; go right in"
The pub is very dimly lit
As the band will soon begin.

She sips her cup of coffee
And sits beside the stage
Glances all around her
And suddenly feels her age.

The dance floor is all crowded
Before she's caught his eye
He looks surprised at first
Then mouths a silent "hi".

He watches her through-out the dance
And wonders why she came
She's never liked his music
Or the band's new name.

He reads a request on paper
And when it has been sung
He wonders who had sent it:
"I STILL MISS SOMEONE."

He never saw her leave the hall
Guess she just got bored
She'd be asleep when he got home
And he strummed a final chord.

The sexy barmaid whispered low
"Going now? Need company?"
But he kept right on walkin'
'Cuz he just wasn't free.

He sat inside their spotless house
And cried for what was gone
And reached for his old guitar
To sing himself a song.

Somewhere in another room
A woman hears a noise
And cries into her pillow
As she listens to his voice......

"I still miss someone".......
