| EXCEPT FOR YOU came home to our apartment tossed off my old coat plopped down on the sofa and i picked up that remote turned on the evening news but didn't catch a word the echo of your leaving was the only sound i heard poured myself a little drink sat there in the dark to think how i don't need anything except for you you're my deepest wish you're that soft sweet kiss i've never felt love like this except for you turned on my computer checked my favorite sites nothing out in cyberspace to interest me tonight funny how time apart can teach you what is real how reaching from a distance lets you touch the way you feel. poured myself a little drink sat there in the dark to think how i don't need anything except for you you're my deepest wish you're that soft sweet kiss i've never felt love like this except for you it's just a few more days 'til you're home again i pray my heart can hold out 'til then... i pour myself another drink sit here in the dark and think how i don't need anything except for you you're my deepest wish you're that soft sweet kiss i've never felt love like this except for you except for you ©Bill Osofsky, BMI, floyd jane ASCAP Words and music.
