I sit and sip pousse cafe The others think it's just a drink How can they know of the love song it starts It's like my heart It's in three parts Why did I drink pousse cafe? Oh I don't know, it warms me so I can't tell that it's a toast to a dream It's on my lips, how near you seem Once your lips caressed me tenderly Offered love, love that would not go astray Empty arms and just a memory And a lonely drink of pousse cafe Pour me one more pousse cafe An aperitif can't bring relief I'm the moth who got to close to the flame I played for keeps, you played a game And so I linger here and sip pousse cafe
