My Lady Won’t Be Here Tonight
Moe Jaffe, Ludwig Flato
Oh waiter, please remove that chair
'Cause no one will be sitting there
There isn't anybody else that I care to invite
And my lady won't be here tonight
Ah, you must remember her, I know
For we we're here just a short while ago
We danced together 'til the dawn
And we dined by candlelight
Oh, my lady won't be here tonight
I don't need music to remind me
Of times I held her within my arms
I wanna leave my blues behind me
And so I must forget that this is where we met
I won't be coming back again
But if you see her now and then
Just tell her that I loved her so
And I hope that she's alright
Oh, my lady won't be here tonight
