Lyrics
For a tea at two
Anticipation for a tea meeting scheduled at two o'clock.
I would be just be there waiting
The speaker expresses her willingness to wait for the other person at the designated time.
He left so soon
The person left abruptly and unexpectedly.
He'd only just arrived
Despite the brief stay, the impact of his presence was significant.
He hummed a tune
The person hummed a romantic tune, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
One that I found romantic
The tune was perceived as romantic by the speaker.
It filled the room
The music filled the room, enhancing the ambiance.
Down at Le Restaurant
The events took place at a location called Le Restaurant.
He teased Francois behind the bar
The person interacted playfully with Francois, possibly a staff member.
And he left his tips in the candy jar
He left tips in the candy jar, showcasing a carefree and generous attitude.
He carried on just like a song
His behavior resembled a song, suggesting a lively and rhythmic demeanor.
And I'd always wondered where he'd gone
The speaker was curious about his whereabouts when he wasn't around.
He never, never knew
He was unaware of the speaker's dreams and thoughts about him.
How I would dream about him
The speaker fantasized about him without his knowledge.
My rendez, rendezvous

Down at Le Restaurant

Amidst a gaze
During a shared gaze or moment of connection.
One day he sat beside me
He sat beside the speaker on a particular day.
I turned a page

Down at Le Restaurant
The setting of the events is reiterated as Le Restaurant.
