Song

Don't Pass Me By

Release date: 22 November 1968

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 daring 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 daring 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
