"An Empty Cup (A Broken Date)"
Written by Roy Orbison & Norman Petty (1957)
As sung by Buddy Holly
One lonely night;
At this drive-in,
And now I know;
What a fool I've been.
She was to meet me,
We had a date.
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 alone.
