Call Me Later Lyrics

I saw her standing by the jukebox, looking like a dream

Her hair was shining in the lights, like moonlight on a stream

I took a swig of courage, then I stepped into her view

My heart was beating fast, I knew I had to make my move

She ordered up a whiskey, neat, with a twist of lime

I knew right then I'd remember her for the rest of my life

We talked about love lost, and the lessons we learned

Every word she spoke felt like a page I'd yet to turn

So I took a breath, leaned in close, and asked her on a date

She just smiled and sipped her drink,

And said "Let's see how this plays"

She said, "You can call me later",

And handed me her number

She winked at me before she walked away

She said, "You can call me later"

And I know that you may wonder

How a fool like me could let her slip away

I sat back down at my table, staring at the little note

Wondering if she meant it, or if it was just a show

But there was something in her smile, something in her stare

It felt like I'd been waiting for her, and love was in the air

She left the bar, her footsteps fading in the night

But I couldn't wait to call her, to hear her voice tonight

She said, "You can call me later"

And handed me her number

She winked at me before she walked away

She said, "You can call me later"

And I know that you may wonder

How a fool like me could let her slip away

I grabbed the phone to call her, but then I spilled my beer

The ink turned to smudges, and the numbers disappeared

And now I'm left with nothing, but the mess I've made

And that's the last time I saw her, and the memory fades away

She said, "You can call me later"

And handed me her number

She winked at me before she walked away

She said, "You can call me later"

And I know that you may wonder

How a fool like me could let her slip away

She said, "You can call me later"

And handed me her number

She winked at me before she walked away

She said, "You can call me later"

And I know that you may wonder

How a fool like me could let her slip away
