Lyric

Heading out to your part-time job this morning

Toast in your mouth, dawn rain softly falling

I just got home from another night shift, worn thin

Passing each other again before the day begins

"I'm sorry," you say, short on helping hands

Today’s the final showing, just like we planned

But our timing slips away like it always seems to do

Another promise lost between the me and you

I love you, I love you

Though we keep missing each other

I love you, I love you

There's no one else but you, my lover

The door slammed loud in the heat of our fight

I blamed myself for not speaking right

Can I say "I'm sorry" the right way?

Welcome home—flowers, dinner, your favorite meal laid

I love you, I love you

Though we keep missing each other

I love you, I love you

There's no one else but you, my lover

"You might be pregnant," you said with surprise

I stared like an owl, wide-open eyes

A cold time for working both night and day

But courage just surged—I’ll handle, come what may

I love you, I love you

Though we keep missing each other

I love you, I love you

Another little one will join our laughter

Life will be lively

We’ll work together

We’ll make it through, now and forever

I love you, I love you

Though we keep missing each other

I love you, I love you

There's no one else but you, my lover

Looking back now

The years flew past so fast

All that's left for me

Are the traces of my past

Only you fought raising the kids each day

Before I knew it, they had flown away

I love you, I love you

Though we kept missing each other

I love you, I love you

There's no one else but you, my lover

There's no one else but you, my lover
