Lyrics: Esther Ofarim. Esther Ofarim 1969. Don't Pass Me By.

I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me any more.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know, it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry!

I hear the clock a'ticking
On the mantel shelf
See the hands a'moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me any more.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know, it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry!

I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that's alright I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know, it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry!
