Text: Chris De Burgh. The Love Songs. Separate Tables.

At separate tables we sit down to eat
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night
I only wish you knew how much
You've been on my mind

I think about you when the morning comes
I think about you when all my day is done
Wondering what you are doing now
Are you lonely too?

Because I, I miss you here tonight
And I wish you were by my side
And I don't want to let go

At separate tables we sit down to write
The separate letters that never see the light
If only we could just agree
To read between the lines

I want to see you and I know what I will say
We must be crazy to throw it all away
Never knowing what is lost
Before it's all too late

And I, I miss you here tonight
And I wish you were by my side
And I don't want to let go

Yes I, I miss you here tonight
And when I hold you by my side
Well, I'm not goin' to let go
