It's late in the day, I'm thinking of you, Things that you say. So long, So long for me, It's late in the day, I'm talking to you Hear what I say, So long, So long for me, All the time I thought of you, In an ordinary way, You slip back down the heart away, All I really have to say Is people pass along the way, Thoughts of you and me again, I lay on my bed, Searching my mind, Writing my love, So long, So long for me, I sleep on the road, Dreaming of a sound, Coming my way, So long, So long for me, All the time I thought of you, In an ordinary way, Check back down the heart away, And all I really have to say Is people pass along the way, Thoughts of you and me again, All the time I thought of you, In an ordinary way, You slip back down the heart away, And all I really have to say Is people pass along the way, I close my eyes and turn away, All the time I think of you, In an ordinary day, Check back down the heart away, And all I really have to say There's people passin' 'long the way, Thoughts of you and me again!
