Don't Pass Me By
(Music and Words

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 mantle shelf, see the hands moving, But
I'm myself. I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm 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. How 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 all right, 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. How I hate to see you go, Don't pass me by,
Don't make me cry.
