Dear Prudence
I listen for your footsteps
coming up the drive.
Listen for your footsteps
but they don't arrive.
Waiting for your knock, dear
on my old front door.
I don't hear it,
does it mean you don't love me anymore?
I hear the clock a'ticking,
on the mantel shelf.
See the hands a'moving,
but I'm by myself.
I wonder where you are tonight,
and why I'm by myself.
I don't see you,
does it mean you don't love me anymore?
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue.
'Cause you know darling, I love only you.
You'll never know it hurt me so,
I hate to see you go.
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry.
I'm sorry that I doubted you,
I was so unfair.
You were in a car crash,
and you lost your hair.
You said that you would be late
about an hour or two.
I said, "That's alright, I'm waiting here,
just waiting to hear from you".
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue.
'Cause you know darling, I love only you.
You'll never know it hurt me so,
I hate to see you go.
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry.
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue.
'Cause you know darling, I love only you.
You'll never know it hurt me so,
I hate to see you go.
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry.
