It's close to 2 AM I've given up Trying to find her I lost my heart under the neon lights At the Starlite Diner She used to sit across the table Smoking her cigarettes Well that was then Now I've got this booth all to myself I see her eyes I see her smile I hear her laugh Memories too close to home for something That's never coming back I lost my heart by those neon lights At the Starlite Diner one November night
I thought I could make it but now I see that I might die All alone, my heart gone, here at the Starlite Jukebox don't know it's the graveyard shift It shakes rattles and rolls Since the night that I lost my heart The sad songs are all I know Waitress brings me a coke Calls me darlin I think about my girl Drinking coffee smoking her Camel wides She was the sweetest thing in the world
