Lyrics
She woke up I turned around
she was walking Out the door without a
sound and I didn't even know why
She was going
She was Leaving
I Didn't even know why she was leaving
She'd talked a while the night before about
Dreams and other things that meant much
More to her than me -----
But I was day dreaming
I didn't catch her meaning
She'd Talked a while but I didn't hear her screaming
Living in love takes more than being in love
One lone mistake can take away
All of the happiest days
I wait inside the open door
alone with just the TV glow to
guide me to the telephone butstill
it's not ringing
deaf to my pleading
I wait beside the silent phone not ringing
