   C
I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive,
 F
Listen for your footsteps but they don't arrive,
 G
Waiting for your knock, dear
                               F
on my old front door, I don't hear it.
                                   C
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?

I hear the clock a-ticking on the mantle shelf,
see the hands moving, But
I'm myself. I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm 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, darling, I love only you.

               C
You'll never know it hurt me so.
                                         G
How I hate to see you go, Don't pass me by,
                F
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,
darling, 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.
