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
