I Keep Goin' Back To Joe's Lyrics - Nat King Cole

I keep goin' back to Joe's, to that table in the corner 

Sippin' wine and staring at the door 

Our old waiter knows we're through 

Still he sets a place for you, everything the way it was before 

I keep goin' back to Joe's but the man who plays piano 

Never plays your favorite melody 

Joe keeps busy at the bar, never asks me where you are 

He was there when you walked out on me 

Now I pray you'll walk back in and you'll say what fools we've been 

And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning 

Chances are you'll never show but you'll know just where to find me 

Every night until it's time to close
