Do you remember our old café
The nights were long, we had time to play
Our favorite place, jukebox by the door
We'd drop a quarter, and let it roar
Elvis sang, we didn't have a care
Just two kids dreaming in the midnight air
Take me back to the old café
Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day
No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance
Take me back to where we took our chance
The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor
Where we sat and laughed, not needing more
Seems our old café is only a shadow now
Remember the booths with the vinyl torn
We'd sit there talking until the early morn
Fries on the counter, Coke in our hands
Making up stories, dreams of foreign lands
The jukebox played like a distant call
And for a moment, we had it all
Take me back to the old café
Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day
No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance
Take me back to where we took our chance
The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor
Where we sat and laughed, not needing more
Seems our old café is only a shadow now
Good to see you, buddy, how long's it been?
I still think of our café now and then
Wouldn't it be great to sit there once more
And talk about nothing, like we did before
Funny how some of those dreams came true
And I still got the songs I played with you
Take me back to the old café
Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day
No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance
Take me back to where we took our chance
The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor
Where we sat and laughed, not needing more
Seems our old café is only a shadow now
It's like I can still smell the burgers grilling
And Elvis, man, he's still there singing "The grass won't pay no mind"
Take me back to the old café
Where the jukebox played and we'd waste the day
No plans, no hurry, just a laugh and a glance
Take me back to where we took our chance
The chairs are gone, just dust on the floor
Where we sat and laughed, not needing more
Seems our old café is only a shadow now
Take me back, please! Just take me back...
