Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Here goes another day
I spend away from you
Another lonely day
That seems as long as two
Chorus
Waitin’ for the phone that never, never rings
Waitin’ for the mail, the mailman never brings
Listenin’ to the song my heart forever sings
Wishin’ you were here
Readin’ all the books that I have read before
One eye on the book and one eye on the door
When I turn a page I’m skippin’ three or four
Wishin’ you were here
I stay all cooped up when you’re out of town
I’m like a lonesome pup turnin’ things all upside down
Lookin’ high and low for somethin’ I ain’t got
Somethin’ I may need but I don’t know for what
Just to keep my mind from wishin’ I was not
Wishin’ you were here
- I’ve worn the carpet through
From pacing to and fro
I do the march of time
But time goes, oh, so slow
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
