I made us dinner
But I ate it alone
You haven't called
I wait by the phone
I called you office
To see if they would know
You secretary said
You left hours ago
I took a shower
And watched some T.V.
You're still not home
Where could you be?

You're not here
But you're still in my heart
It won't be long now
I say as my tears start
To flow across my cheeks
And onto the floor
As I sit here waiting
For you to come through the door

I left the light on
So when you came in you could see
I went to bed
But no one's sleeping next to me
I sit awake for a while
Hoping that you'll come home
And as I doze off
My thoughts begin to roam
I think maybe you've left
And you're not coming back
I look into the closet
You're clothes aren't on the rack

You're not here
But you're still in my heart
It won't be long now
I say as my tears start
To flow across my cheeks
And onto the floor
As I sit here waiting
For you to come through the door

A week's gone by
But I haven't seen you yet
I wonder why you left me
And how far did you get
On a couple of dollars
And a little bit of change
Did you take a bus
Or one of the trains?
I hope you'll write me
A letter or two
Let me know you miss me
As much as I miss you

You're not here
But you're still in my heart
It won't be long now
I say as my tears start
To flow across my cheeks
And onto the floor
As I sit here waiting
For you to come through the door
