I listen for your footsteps
Comin' down the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive

Waitin' for your knock, dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it, 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 hurts me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue

I hear the clock a-tickin'
On the mantle shelf
I see the hands a-movin'
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 hurts me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue

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'd be late tonight
About an hour or two
I said, that's alright, I'm a-waitin' here
Just waitin' 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 hurts me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue
