We Never Did Get To See Albert Einstein
Words and Music by Joe LaMay
We never did get to see Albert Einstein
On Constitution Avenue
We must’ve passed him in the dark
I was lookin’ for a place to park
So I could have a drink with you
Now every time I pass an Irish Bar
And every time I see a shooting star
Ever time I touch a scar - I’ll think of you
And every time I see Maria’s face
Wander through the market place
Or find myself in love’s embrace - I’ll think of you
No, we never did get to see Albert Einstein
I know I made that promise to you
We must’ve passed him in the dark
I was lookin’ for a place to park
So I could have a drink with you
Now every time that I procrastinate
Drink too much wine - stay up to late
Every time I drive the Interstate - I’ll think of you
And every time I pass through Baltimore
I’ll see you standing in the door
Like in those days before the war - I’ll think of you
No, we never did get to see Albert Einstein
It was just one of those we didn’t do
We must’ve passed him in the dark
I was lookin’ for a place to park
So I could have that drink with you
Now every time I hear the telephone
And every time I feel I’m all alone
And every time I’m far away from home - I’ll think of you
And every time I think of angel eyes
Loving hands and lonely sighs
Every time I have to say good bye - I’ll think of you
