Hey Bartender

(please don't drink and drive)

 

hey bartender

 

come on down here

 

pour me a beer

 

so I can cry a tear or two

 

you know I'm just a pretender

 

hiding behind this glass

 

the one I hold in my shaking hand

 

hey bartender

 

thank you kindly

 

I knew you'd understand

 

hey bartender

 

by the way

 

the next round is on me

 

It's happy hour

 

I'm as blue as I can be

 

hey bartender

 

do you see that guy over there

 

dancing with that new gal

 

do you remember

 

when he use to dance with me

 

hey bartender

 

come on down here

 

pour me a beer

 

call me a taxi

 

I'm outta here

I have a piece I wrote with the same title.
I like this i can feel the emotion behind it.

[Sheila Kline]

This reminds me of the song, "Tears in my Beer". To think of how many men or women sit in a place such as this, with emotions as this, and just pine away, as they wait for a new love, having to watch a lost love with someone else.
Good ending!
