[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
I hear the clock a-ticking on the mantle shelf
I 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?
[Chorus]
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
Yeah!
Don't make me blue
[Verse 3]
I’m sorry that I doubted you, you was so unfair
You were in a car crash and you lost your hair. (oh no!)
You said that you'd be late, about an hour or two
Well, that's all right, I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you
[Chorus]
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
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
Don't make me blue (Don't make me blue)
'Cause you know, darling, I love only you. (I love 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, don't pass me blue
