Your name froze on the winter air   An empty bench in Soho Square   Forgotten, now I turn away   Just save me for a rainy day   But don't be sorry, I don't want to hear it, baby      My feet froze in the winter chill   I knew I'd probably get ill   But I was praying we could fill an empty bench   And still you're so sorry, but I don't want your pity, baby      It's all yours now, please don't tease   The pigeons shiver in the naked trees   And I'll do anything but please don't hurt me   Just kiss me quick 'cos it's my birthday   And I feel so small I don't know why   But no I'm not too old to cry      An empty bench in Soho Square   If you'd have come you'd have found me there   But you never did 'cos you don't care   And I'm so sorry, baby      I don't mind loneliness too much   But when I met you I was touched   And that was good enough for me   But do we always have to be sorry   Why can't we just be happy, baby?      One day you'll be waiting there   No empty bench in Soho Square   And we'll dance around like we don't care   And I'll be much too old to cry   And you'll kiss me quick   In case I die before my birthday      One day you'll be waiting there   No empty bench in Soho Square   No, I don't know the reason why   I'll love you till the day I die      But one day you'll be waiting there   Come summertime in Soho Square   And I'll be painting stars up in the sky   Before I get too old to cry before my birthday   I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birthday   In Soho Square on my birthday
