Story Behind The Song

My husband had died and as I stood at the subway waiting to get home, I began to realize that there was nothing to look forward to anywhere.

Song Description

She is trying to come to grips with the fact that he is gone and not returning; she looks for him everywhere but there is only his scent in the air.

Lyrics

NO MORE LOOKING FORWARD

© Chapman

Here it is Friday morning
been waiting for your call
time to plan our weekend but
the phone don't ring at all
Subway gets me home from work
looking for you everywhere
needing so to hold you
finding just your scent in the air

Darling, there's no more looking forward
tomorrows have stopped today.
Tomorrow is a step to nowhere,
down and out, in a world of gray.
Oh darling, you were all my tomorrows,
unfinished songs, unwhispered words
There's no more dreaming with my darling
and there's no more looking forward.

Here it is Sunday evening
been hurting all this day
lonesome as a mourning dove
calling for its mate
Can't get to sleep without you
TV turns me off
punch the pillows, kick the sheets
try to find a place that's soft

Please find a way to reach me
as I stumble through each hour
You know I need to feel your love
shelter and surround me

Darling, there's no more looking forward
tomorrows have stopped today.
Tomorrow is a step to nowhere,
down and out, in a world of gray.
Oh darling, you were all my tomorrows,
unfinished songs, unwhispered words
There's no more dreaming with my darling
and there's no more looking forward.
