John T. Wurzer - I Can't See You Tonight Lyrics

You called me up to say you missed me
And it's been nearly twenty years
Since the last time that you kissed me
And chased away my childish fears
You said we ought to get together
Said you were getting on a flight
And you were wondering if whether
I might see you tonight

Yes I have tried to love another
I fooled myself, I fooled her too
Thought she was happy as my lover
Thought I was finally over you
But this old heart is dark and dusty
And I've been drinking wrong or right
Not quite blind drunk, oh but I must be
Cause I just can't see you tonight

Our romance was much too chilly
And this old town still looks the same
I guess I probably look silly
Stoned drunk and calling out your name
But this old voice is growing weaker
It used to squeal, it used to growl
I loved her once but I couldn't keep her
Your memory chased her off somehow

This old house is too damn quiet
This old room is damp and bare
I speak your name and then deny it
Convince myself that I don't care
This old brain is growing brittle
This old soul is in overdrive
I guess I miss you just a little
That's why this love song's still alive
