You're drinking tea out of a porcelain cup
You ask your waitress where she was brought up
You've never heard a voice like that one
Her laugh reminds you of someone
Who showed you to believe
In what you cannot see
You loved her for an hour or two
In a diner on Christmas Eve
I know it snows in other cities
But our parking lots are slick with rain
Inside it smells like toast and coffee
And I feel hopeful for a change
And I want to believe
In what I cannot see
And love you for an hour or two
In a diner on Christmas Eve
You're doing crosswords from the paper
You haven't finished one in years
I put a quarter in the jukebox
And ask you what you want to hear
And you want to believe
In what you cannot see
Please love me for an hour or two
In a diner on Christmas Eve.
