F                    Bb            F
One lonely night.....at this drive-in.
Bb        F        C                F
And now I know.....what a fool I’ve been.

CHORUS:
Bb         C
She was to meet me.. (an empty cup, a broken date.)
         F
we had a date.. (a broken date, an empty cup.)
          G
a date at seven....I dreamed of Heaven,
C
now, it’s way past eight.

All alone.
