With The Sweet Drip Of Every Raindrop
Time Brings Me Closer To You
And With Each New Sign At Every Train-stop
Another Hour Without You Is Consigned To History

And With Each New Tick Of My Alarm Clock
I Get Crazy For The Days To Get To You
When I Can Hold You And Kiss You And Have You
Instead Of Staring A Some Photo Like A Fool

But As Day Turns To Night There's This Hopelessness To Fight
When I Think That I Might Not Make It Through

But Honey Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name
To Hear It Hanging In The Air, To Know It Sounds The Same
And Sometimes When I'm Blue, I Know Just What To Do
To Keep The Blues At Bay You Know I Only Have To Say Your Name

So This Morning I Picked Up The Paper
In The Useless Descent Of The Rain
While Partners In Heartbreak The Whoe World Over
Lie And Cheat Just The Same
And The Headlines Proclaim Everything Has Changed
Love Can't Save You Now
As Each Little Motion Of My Wristwatch
Holds Up My Faith Somehow

But As Day Turns To Night There's This Hopelessness To Fight
When I Think That I Might Not Make It Through
But Honey Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name
To Hear It Hanging In The Air, To Know It Sounds The Same
And Sometimes When I'm Blue, I Know Just What To Do
To Keep The Blues At Bay You Know I Only Have To Say Your Name

When I've Used Up All My Patience
When Your Letters Have Been Read Twenty Times Theough
I Can Drink All The Wine In This Place Of Mine
But It Ain't No Replacement
It Ain't No Replacement For You
