Empty Chairs Don McLean

[Verse 1]
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers, and the moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame

[Chorus]
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would

[Verse 2]
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillowcase
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
A sympathy bouquet left with a love that's dead

[Chorus]
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would

[Bridge]
Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
