In a nightclub
I was there earlier this week
And I felt so alone there
It was warm and crowded
I sat next to an empty stool
I longed so much for you here by my side
I still think
How it would've been
When you sat beside me
Here at the bar
I asked, "Drink with me?"
You said that's okay
When you toasted and looked at me
I went so weak
A little in love
I thought, a little in love
If I'd known what you thought then
I'd never have waited for you
Like a child I was dreaming
Tonight you're mine
But that dream passed quick
You stood up and said
Keep my seat free
I've gotta step out, but I'll be right back
Oh, that stool stayed empty
Till I realized
You'd left without me, I was alone now
A little in love
I thought, a little in love
If I'd known what you thought then
I'd never have waited for you
Like a child I was dreaming
A little in love
I thought, a little in love
If I'd known what you thought then
I'd never have waited for you
Like a child I was dreaming
Tonight you're mine
But that dream passed quick
A little in love

SONG MEANING

Picture this: a lively Dutch discotheque, colored lights spinning across the dance floor. Our storyteller, André Hazes, is sitting alone beside an empty barstool, feeling a little out of place. Suddenly a stranger joins him, raises a glass, and for a sparkling moment he feels “’n beetje verliefd” – a little bit in love. In that instant every beat of the music fuels his day-dream that tonight could be the start of something special.

But the dream slips away just as quickly. She stands up, asks him to keep her seat, and disappears into the crowd… never to return. The once-hopeful narrator is left staring at the vacant stool, realizing he had built a castle of romance on a shaky foundation of wishful thinking. This bittersweet sing-along captures the thrill of a sudden crush and the sting of disappointment, reminding us how easily the heart can race ahead of reality.
