Lyrics
A Brief Rendezvous
They met one night in a gin joint
Hit it off, had plenty to say
Two lonely hearts needing love
With no thoughts of going astray
Sun up broke the spell they were under
Agreed to meet back there that night
Two weary hearts tired of lonely
The outlook for love burning bright
Chorus
A brief rendezvous from a casual glance
A short lived affair, a mere circumstance
A matter of two hearts beginning a dance
A short episode with love taking a chance
Verse
He sat all alone until closing
Hangin' around with the pain
Then with a sigh born of sadness
Headed back home in the rain
He tried to stop dreaming about her
But the memories decided to stay
His image of her never faded
As one random meeting turned his world gray
Chorus
A brief rendezvous, from a casual glance,
A short lived affair, a mere circumstance.
A matter of two hearts beginning a dance,
A short episode with love taking a chance
