Sunset Marquis Lyrics - Vonda Shepard

There's a place where we hung out 

At the Sunset Marquis 

And I miss the way your hand felt 

Resting on my knee 

It was one of the few times 

I didn't want to change a thing 

And the way the light hit your face just right 

Was like a movie, a movie 

And the way you laughed 

Well, it warmed the draft 

Running through me, through me 

And I wanna go back to try and unwind 

A couple is snapping at each other 

Like dirty old rubber bands 

While a waitress in a cat suit 

Is starting to expand 

I draw a line around your finger 

Like a wedding band 

Then I scribble down some poetry 

On a book of matches 

'Cause I realize I am sitting with 

One of the finest catches 

And suddenly in the background it was you 

Playing on that radio 

Burning on that stereo 

In the bar at The Sunset Marquis 

There was a party in my head 

Where did everybody go? 

One night in the blue light 

I sat there all alone 

And I tried to remember 

The smell of your coat 

Then I touched my hand and 

I whispered into my own ear, my own ear 

In the background something familiar 

Something was so clear, so clear 

And I realized that it was me 

Playing on that radio 

Burning on that stereo 

In the bar at The Sunset Marquis singing 'bout 

All the laughs we once had, darling 

Oh, the way it felt to me 

In the bar at The Sunset Marquis
