Matinee Lyrics

Matinee, seats for two,
I was there, where were you?
Matinee, curtain call,
And a hush through the hall.

I had hoped you'd arrive
As the stage came alive
With a show about a boy
Who loved a girl as I love you!

When they kissed it tore my heart out,
Once our love was like this;
And I acted every part out
As I thought of your kiss!

Matinee, seats for two,
I was there but where were you?

Then, like us, they had a quarrel
And she left him alone,
But their story has a moral
That we both should have known;
Love that's true never did run smooth!

Matinee, true to life,
With the joy and the strife!

They were sad as could be;
That was you, that was me!

But they kissed at the finale,
And my heart melted away!
Matinee, seats for two,
I was there, where were you today?

Matinee, true to life,
With the joy and the strife!
They were sad as could be;
That was you, that was me!

But they kissed at the finale,
And my heart melted away!
Matinee, seats for two,
I was there, where were you today?
