Empty Chairs Lyrics - Harry Belafonte

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night 

Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright 

Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane 

Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame 

And I wonder if you know 

That I never understood 

That although you said you'd go 

Until you did I never thought you would 

Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face 

While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case 

The fragrance of your body rests beneath my head 

A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead

And I wonder if you know 

That I never understood 

That although you said you'd go 

Until you did I never thought you would 

Never thought the words you said were true 

Never thought you said just what you meant 

Never knew how much I needed you 

Never thought you'd leave until you went 

Morning comes and morning goes with no regret 

And evening brings the memories I can't forget 

Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs 

And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs 

Photos 

And I wonder if you know 

That I never understood 

That although you said you'd go 

Until you did I never thought you would
