You're Not There - RJ Sharp

You're Not There Lyrics

The taxi takes me from ABQ
To Sandoval Street, Pacific Avenue
Too beautiful here to be without you
I see you in pink with your shoulders bare
A Spanish rose up in your golden hair
We'd go downtown, I know you'd love it there
I dine alone at the Catamount Grille
In Sante Fe I'm dreamin still
Wishing you'd walk up, pull out a chair
They upped my room to a balcony suite
There's a club right across the street
But you're the one I want to meet
And you're not there
The shuttle takes me from TDY
To Jackson Square where I question why

The carriages there aren't for you and I
On Decatur Street somewhat out of view
A girl of bronze found that fountain too
So much about her reminds me of you
I dine alone at Cafe Du Monde
In New Orleans I'm dreamin on
Wishing you'd walk up, pull out a chair
On Bourbon Street the temptations are free
Her shadow grooves in the window making moves at me
Tonight I'll want my bride with me
But you're not there
I'm always waiting for romance to happen
Instead of making it happen
I know the mood's to be made, not found
When we're apart it's then I find
You fill my heart, thrill my mind
I should miss you this much when you're around
When I return I promise soon
We'll dine away under the moon
And don't forget let me pull out your chair
We'll hold hands walk along the bay
Take us back to a younger day
This time I won't have to say
You're not there
