[Verse 1]
Well is this seat taken, would you mind some company?
You've been alone all evening, would you like to talk with me?
Do I come here often? You might say that I do
Is someone home waiting? I was just gonna ask you
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the prettiest woman
I think I've ever seen
And tonight, if you let me
I'd like to help you dream
[Verse 2]
Well, you've got the nicest brown eyes and a little girl's smile
You should've been in the movies, you say you haven't heard that in a while
You sound just like Dolly singin' on the radio
Do you know someplace quiet where both of us could go?
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the prettiest woman
I think I've ever seen
And tonight, if you let me
I'd like to help you dream
[Bridge]
'Cause I think I know what it looks like when you get back home
Maybe dreamin' is all you've got left
But I could tell you sweet lies like you've never heard before
You see, I haven't stopped dreamin' yet
[Bridge]
I think I know what it looks like when you get back home
Maybe dreamin' is all you've got left
But I could tell you sweet lies like you've never heard before
You see, I haven't stopped dreamin' yet
[Verse 3]
Well how 'bout another drink?
What's that, you've gotta go home?
You say it's been nice talkin'
Then why are you leavin' me alone?
[Chorus]
'Cause you're the prettiest woman
I think I've ever seen
And tonight, if you let me
I'd like to help you dream
[Outro]
Well, do I come here often?
You might say that I do
