lyrics: [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 any more?
  
  [Verse 2]
  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 any more?
  
  [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 hurt me so, how I hate to see you go
  Don't pass me by
  Don't make me cry
  
  [Verse 3]
  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 alright, 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 hurt me so, I'll hate to see you go
  Don't pass me by
  Don't make me cry
  
  [Interlude]
  One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
  
  [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 hurt me so, I'll hate to see you go
  Don't pass me by
  Don't make me cry
