Mr. Maestro Play A Blue Sonata

[Verse 1]
Mr. Maestro, play a blue sonata
Waiter, pour the wine for one before you go
And leave the candlelight, I don't want the room too bright
I don't want my tears to show

[Verse 2]
Come join me in a toast of sorrow
I'm not in the mood for havin' fun
If you're wonderin' why I'm here, let me try and make it clear
It's a simple case of love by one

[Bridge]
Waiter, don't you bother movin' that empty chair
That sign marked "reserved", you can leave it there
That sign is not mistaken, no, no, no
That chair will soon be taken
By the blues

[Verse 3]
So Mr. Maestro, play a blue sonata
Mm, waiter, don't remind me of the time
I've seen every picture show, I've read every book I know
Tryin' to get him out of my mind

[Verse 4]
So wine and melody are the last resort for me
Won't you try to be a little kind?
Mr. Maestro, play a blue sonata

[Outro]
Mm, Mr. Maestro, play a blue sonata
Play it for me, play it for me
Play it for me
