Pousse Cafe

I sat and sip Pousse Café

The others think, it's just a drink

How can they know of a lesson it starts

It's like my heart, it's in 3 parts

Why do i drink Pousse Café?

Oh I don't know, it once was so

I can't tell that it's a toast to a grand

It's on my lips, I will listen

Once you're lips caress me tenderly

All that love, love that would not go astray

And tears are just a memory

And a lonely drink of Pousse Café

Only one more Pousse Café

An aperitif can't bring relief

I'm a moth who went too close to the flame

I play for keeps, you play the game

And so I linger here and sip Pousse Café
