| Tonight I’ll set the table,
|
| I’ll take my chair.
|
| I’ll act like nothing’s happened,
|
| Though you’re not there.
|
| I’ll smile when Johnny asks me,
|
| Why you are so late?
|
| I’ll tell him daddy’s busy,
|
| But I’ll wonder and worry and wait.
|
| Tonight I’ll write some letters,
|
| They’re overdue.
|
| I’ll look at television,
|
| But I’ll see you.
|
| I’ll think about this morning,
|
| Of a silly, foolish fight,
|
| The way you said,
|
| I won’t be home tonight.
|
| Tonight I’ll kiss your pillow,
|
| When I’m in bed.
|
| I’ll blame myself completely,
|
| For what I said.
|
| My eyes will fill with teardrops,
|
| When I reach for you.
|
| I’ll feel so lost and lonely,
|
| 'Cause I love you, I love you, I love you!
|
| Tonight I’ll say a prayer for you,
|
| Where ever you may be.
|
| And hope that when I wake tomorrow,
|
| You’ll be here with me. |
