She puts the coffee on the counter before he takes his seat

And slides the sugar closer to him, she knows he likes it sweet

And then she lingers with busy fingers waiting for his smile

They talk about the rainy weather, she's thinking all the while



What she wants to say is "I could love a man like you,

Oh how I wish you knew I have seen you're good and kind,

strong enough for two You could sweep me off my feet and carry me away"

But all she says is "Have a nice day"



They talk about how unemployment is finally coming down

The factory that's gonna bring some life back to this town

She wonders if his words mean more than what it really seems

And she's still looking for the courage to say just what she means



What she wants to say is "I could love a man like you,

Oh how I wish you knew I have seen you're good and kind,

strong enough for two I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe"

But all she says is "Have a nice day"



He winks once then he's gone, she's got time to kill

And in her dreams she's leaving with him, she knows some day she will



What she wants to say is "I could love a man like you,

Oh how I wish you knew I have seen you're good and kind,

strong enough for two I'm more woman than I can show you in this old cafe"

But all she says is, all she says is, all she says is "Have a nice day
