[00:16.70]Your name froze on the winter air
[00:21.00]An empty bench in Soho Square
[00:24.85]Forgotten now I turn away
[00:28.10]Just save me for a rainy day
[00:32.10]But don't be sorry, I don't want to hear it baby
[00:39.90]My feet froze in the winter chill
[00:45.05]I knew I'd probably get ill
[00:48.10]But I was praying we could fill an empty bench and still
[00:53.58]You're so sorry but I don't want your pity baby
[01:03.70]It's all yours now please don't tease
[01:06.86]The pigeons shiver in the naked trees
[01:09.60]And I'll do anything but please don't hurt me
[01:13.58]Just kiss me quick cos it's my birthday
[01:18.00]And I feel so small I don't know why but no I'm not too old to cry
[01:34.35]An empty bench in Soho Square.
[01:38.10]If you'd have come you'd have found me there
[01:42.30]But you never did cos you don't care and I'm so sorry baby
[01:49.55]I don't mind loneliness too much but when I met you I was touched
[01:57.30]And that was good enough for me but do we always have to be sorry
[02:08.18]Why can't we just be happy baby?
[02:12.20]One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
[02:19.25]And we'll dance around like we don't care
[02:23.40]And I'll be much too old to cry
[02:27.16]And you'll kiss me quick in case I die before my birthday
[02:39.00]Before my birthday
[02:47.00]Before my birthday
[03:02.30]One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
[03:11.30]No I don't know the reason why I'll love you till the day I die
[03:18.80]But one day you'll be waiting there
[03:22.30]Come summertime in Soho Square
[03:26.50]And I'll be painting stars up in the sky
[03:29.88]Before I get too old to cry before my birthday
[03:37.63]I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birthday
[03:47.87]In Soho Square on my birthday
[03:55.58]In Soho Square on my birthday
