It Is Always Nice To See You Says The Man Behind The Counter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am sitting in the morning at the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter for the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway and before I even argue
He is looking out the window at somebody coming in
[Verse 2]
"It is always nice to see you," says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in, she is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way as they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them, and instead I pour the milk
[Verse 3]
I open up the paper, there's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking, it was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope and looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me and so I raise my head
[Verse 4]
There's a woman on the outside looking inside, does she see me?
No, she does not really see me 'cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice that she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings, her hair has gotten wet
[Verse 5]
Oh, this rain, it will continue through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice
[Verse 6]
And of the midnight picnic once upon a time before the rain began
And I finish up my coffee
And it's time to catch the train
[Outro]
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Spanish Version Lyrics
[Verso 1]
Estoy sentado por la mañana en el restaurante de la esquina.
Estoy esperando en el mostrador a que el hombre sirva el café.
Y lo llena solo a la mitad y antes de que yo discuta
Él está mirando por la ventana a alguien que entra
[Verso 2]
"Siempre es bueno verte", dice el hombre detrás del mostrador.
A la mujer que ha entrado agita su paraguas
Y miro para otro lado mientras se dan un beso de saludo
Y estoy fingiendo no verlos, y en cambio sirvo la leche
[Verso 3]
Abro el periódico, hay una historia de un actor
Quien había muerto mientras bebía, no era nadie de quien hubiera oído hablar.
Y me dirijo al horóscopo y busco las cosas divertidas
Cuando siento que alguien me mira y levanto la cabeza
[Verso 4]
Hay una mujer afuera mirando adentro, ¿me ve?
No, ella realmente no me ve porque ve su propio reflejo
Y estoy tratando de no darme cuenta de que se está subiendo la falda
Y mientras se alisa las medias, se le ha mojado el pelo
[Verso 5]
Oh, esta lluvia continuará durante la mañana mientras escucho
A las campanas de la catedral
Estoy pensando en tu voz
[Verso 6]
Y del picnic de medianoche una vez antes de que comenzara la lluvia
Y termino mi café
Y es hora de tomar el tren
[Outro]
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
