Separate Tables - Chris De Burgh

At separate tables we sit down to eat,

In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,

I only wish you knew how much,

You’ve been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes,

I think about you when all my day is done,

Wondering what you are doing now,

Are you lonely too?

Because I — I miss you here tonight,

And I wish you were by my side,

And I don’t want to let go;

At separate tables we sit down to write,

The separate letters that never see the light,

If only we could just agree,

To read between the lines;

I want to see you and I know what I will say,

We must be crazy to throw it all away,

Never knowing what is lost,

Before it’s all too late;

And I — I miss you here tonight,

And I wish you were by my side,

And I don’t want to let go;

Yes I — I miss you here tonight,

And when I hold you by my side,

Well I’m not going to let go.
