📜 Lyrics
He walked the streets alone at night, just trying to pass the hours
He found her crying on the curb, beside a bed of flowers
Her purse has just been snatched she said
Did he have a dollar to spare?
He took her hand and led her to the café at the edge of the square
They sat and ate their sugary treats
And laughed like they hadn't a care
He walked across the street and picked a flower for her hair
They smiled and talked the whole night through
Until the sun grew bright
They kissed goodbye but swore they'd meet again tomorrow night
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
They met each day for months on end, each night their love would grow
They planned a life together soon, the ring on her finger did show
One day right at the usual time, he came but she wasn't there
He sat all night til daybreak lit the café at the edge of the square
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
He walks the streets alone at night, just trying to pass the hours
And tries to piece together what had passed with all of his powers
Was it due to an accident, foul play, or her family's demands?
Or did she just grow tired of him?
The truth just slips through his hands
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
He found her crying on the curb, beside a bed of flowers
Her purse has just been snatched she said
Did he have a dollar to spare?
He took her hand and led her to the café at the edge of the square
They sat and ate their sugary treats
And laughed like they hadn't a care
He walked across the street and picked a flower for her hair
They smiled and talked the whole night through
Until the sun grew bright
They kissed goodbye but swore they'd meet again tomorrow night
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
They met each day for months on end, each night their love would grow
They planned a life together soon, the ring on her finger did show
One day right at the usual time, he came but she wasn't there
He sat all night til daybreak lit the café at the edge of the square
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
He walks the streets alone at night, just trying to pass the hours
And tries to piece together what had passed with all of his powers
Was it due to an accident, foul play, or her family's demands?
Or did she just grow tired of him?
The truth just slips through his hands
Beignets and a chicory coffee, and a dream that could never come true
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
Well all I want in this earthly world
A beignet, a hot coffee, and you
