Amalia sits in the cafe for hours, waiting for her date to show up but he never does. She fears that he has come into the cafe, seen her, and left without a word, not realizing that “Dear Friend” is Georg.
Dear Friend Lyrics
[AMALIA]
The flowers, the linen
The crystal I see
Were carefully chosen for people like me
The silver a gleam and the candles a glow
Your favorite songs on request
Each colorful touch in the finest of taste
And notice how subtly the tables are spaced
The music is muted
The lighting is low
No wonder I feel so depressed
Charming, romantic, the perfect cafe
Then as if it isn't bad enough a violin starts to play
Candles and wine
Tables for two
But where are you, dear friend?
Couples go past me
I see how they look
So discreetly sympathetic when they see the rose and the book
I make believe nothing is wrong
How long can I pretend?
Please, make it right
Don't break my heart
Don't let it end, dear friend
[HEADWAITER, spoken]
We're closing up
[AMALIA, spoken]
So soon?
[HEADWAITER, spoken]
It looks like your friend didn't get here
[AMALIA, spoken]
I'm sure there's a very good reason
[HEADWAITER, spoken]
Then he'll write to you, and you can patch it up, and I hope you'll be very happy
[AMALIA, spoken]
Oh, thank you!
(sung)
I make believe nothing is wrong, how long can I pretend?
Please, make it right
Don't break my heart
Don't let it end, dear friend
