Lyrics
The sun in the back yard is melting the snow
And I should be working, god only knows…
The dogs in the mudroom are sleeping it off
From the sounds of their snoring, their dreams are enough
But the warmth of the day and the fact you’re away
Has left me quite lonely, and I just want to play
Your shirt on the bedside smells just like you
And I know it’s pathetic, this feeling so blue
And I should be doing dozens of things
Not smelling your PJ’s or trying to sing
And the day lingers on, and the fact you are gone
Has left me at loose ends, but it won’t be long
The dogs will be barking, they’ll dance at the door
And you’ll come in, smiling
And I will be lonely no more
