Norm Hacking's Lyrics:
"Love at the Free Times Cafe"

I like it when
You wear my hat -
Your face looks so pretty
Framed just like that.
When I nudge up the brim,
The smile I discover
Has your mouth at one corner,
And mine at the other.

So we order a round
In this tiny café.
When I close my eyes,
I see your face,
With my arms around you
Like we owned the place,
Holdin' hands ‘neath the table,
Overwhelmed by the grace.

chorus:
Roll me a river,
Stretch me a sky,
Blow me a kiss
And wink me an eye.
Sing me a love song
And wave me goodbye.
How I loved you
At the Free Times Café.

There's photos of singers
Framed on the wall.
They sing ghostly love songs -
Hell, I must know them all.
And like a country church choir,
Their voices are true.
And each one I heard
Only sang about you.

Hey, look - there's my picture
Smilin' down from the wall.
It was champagne that night
With my wife, I recall.
But just like Irene,
Our love sang goodnight.
Thank God that old hearts
Can still find a new light.

chorus

I wish I could sing you
Just one more song.
I'd sing loud if you sat
At the back of the room.
And if you were up front,
I'd sing soft as a sigh.
When I felt self-conscious,
I avoided your eye.

chorus

I like it when you
Wear my hat -
Your face looks so pretty
Framed just like that.
When I nudge up the brim,
The smile I discover
Has your mouth at one corner
And mine at the other.
