The Old Café Lyrics

Do you remember our old café

The nights were long, we had time to play

Our favorite place, jukebox by the door

We'd drop a quarter, and let it roar

Elvis sang, we didn't have a care

Just two kids dreaming in the midnight air

Take me back to the old café

Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day

No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance

Take me back to where we took our chance

The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor

Where we sat and laughed, not needing more

Seems our old café is only a shadow now

Remember the booths with the vinyl torn

We'd sit there talking until the early morn

Fries on the counter, Coke in our hands

Making up stories, dreams of foreign lands

The jukebox played like a distant call

And for a moment, we had it all

Take me back to the old café

Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day

No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance

Take me back to where we took our chance

The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor

Where we sat and laughed, not needing more

Seems our old café is only a shadow now

Good to see you, buddy, how long's it been?

I still think of our café now and then

Wouldn't it be great to sit there once more

And talk about nothing, like we did before

Funny how some of those dreams came true

And I still got the songs I played with you

Take me back to the old café

Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day

No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance

Take me back to where we took our chance

The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor

Where we sat and laughed, not needing more

Seems our old café is only a shadow now

It's like I can still smell the burgers grilling

And Elvis, man, he's still there singing "The grass won't pay no mind"

Take me back to the old café

Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day

No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance

Take me back to where we took our chance

The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor

Where we sat and laughed, not needing more

Seems our old café is only a shadow now

Take me back, please! Just take me back…
