C
I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive,
F G
Listen for your footsteps but they don't arrive, Waiting for your knock, dear
F C
on my old front door, I don't hear it.Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
C F
I hear the clock a-ticking on the mantle shelf, see the hands moving, But
G
I'm by myself. I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm by myself. I don't
F C
see you. Does it mean you don't love me anymore? Don't pass me by, don't
F
make me cry, don't make me blue 'cause you know, darling, I love only you.
C
You'll never know it hurt me so. How I hate to see you go, Don't pass me by,
G G+ F
Don't make me cry.
C F
I'm sorry that I doubted you I was so unfair, You were in a car crash and
G
you lost your hair. You said that you would be late, About an hour or two.
F C
I said that's all right, I'm waiting here, just waiting to hear from you.
Don't pass me by, don't
F
make me cry, don't make me blue 'cause you know, darling, I love only you.
C
You'll never know it hurt me so. How I hate to see you go, Don't pass me by,
G F C
Don't make me cry.
