Bilingual
The telephone rings, you grab it
You run to each knock at the door
Your heart just can't break the habit
But he's never there no more
That's the story when your guy is gone
No arguments on the hour
No boxing bouts on the TV
No baritone in the shower
No arms where they used to be
That's the story when your guy is gone
You hang around the house at midnight
Just praying that he appears
You sit and wonder if you did right
Then go to sleep counting your tears
You meet him in dreams and make up
He holds you, enfolds you and then
You reach for a kiss and wake up
And here come those blues again
That's the story when your guy is gone
You hang around the house at midnight
Just praying that he appears
You sit and wonder, "Lord, did I do right?"
Then you go to sleep counting your tears
You meet him in dreams and make up
He holds you, enfolds you and then
You reach for a kiss and wake up
Oh, here come those blues again
That's the story when your guy is gone
