Buddy Holly
"An Empty Cup"


One lonely night - at this drive-in
and now I know - what a fool I've been

She was to meet me (an empty cup, a broken date)
we had a date (a broken date, an empty cup)
a date at seven - I dreamed of heaven
now it's way past eight

She just drove by - with another guy
no wonder I can't help but cry

To think she never cared - just tears me up
now all I have to show for love - is this empty cup

Just like this Coke - my love is gone
I've hit the bottom - now I'm all alone
