The Long Wait

Do You ever think of me
When you’re on your own?
Do You see me sitting here
By the telephone?
Can You hear my aching heart
Crying out in pain
Longing for the phone to ring
To hear your voice again
Can You feel my loneliness
Waiting for your call
I’ve nothing else to live for
No, nothing else at all
But nothing else to live for
Doesn’t mean I’ll die
I’ll live once more in limbo
I’ve given life a try
So please, my love, forgive me
And call some time today
Even if its one last time
To tell me “Go away”!
I know that I’m not good enough
And I am sure You’ve seen
That You deserve much better
Than I have ever been

Remember that “I love You”
And that You love me
I’m sorry! Oh, so sorry!
I cause You misery
The last time that You phone me
The tolling of that bell
Will be the final curtain
Life’s last long lonely knell
I’ll be once more a lonely man
Existing on my own
In sad and silent solitude
Beside my long dead phone
