Song Lyrics

Would you come knock on my door

Like you used to before

When there was no other place

You would rather be

Than in my arms

For eternity

What has happened to us

Could there be something missing

Was I too blind to see

That you were no longer

Kissing me

The road was quite long

Maybe traveled too much

I know there’s been times

That we’ve both lost touch

Even so I had thought

That you were still here

No matter what the cost

It all was so clear

Words said before

Are now lost in the wind

There’s no time to think through

It seems I can’t find you again

Oh would you come knock on my door

Like you used to before

When there was no other place

You would rather be

Than in my arms

For eternity

We’ve been here before, baby…

Saturday mornings

Between the sheets

When you would slowly awaken me

With kisses so sweet

Out at the theatre

Went to a play

Things seem just normal

Like any other day

Calling on the phone

With words filled with tenderness

Missing and wanting

Those lips to sweetly kiss

Away on a trip

With a knock on my door

Flowers and a note

Telling me you were missing me and more

Oh would you come knock on my door

Like you used to before

When there was no other place

You would rather be

Than in my arms

For eternity

Soft spoken words

Whispered in my ear

While nestled up cozy

With a fire burning near

Snow falling on window panes

Angels and footprints

Spread all around us

Tender cold wet kisses on a snowy blanket

Waking up alone

With a note lying next to me

You went to get breakfast

Said you won’t forget the tea

Oh, Would you come knock on my door

Like you used to before

When there was no other place

You would rather be

Than in my arms

For eternity

On a moonlit night

In a tent on the beach

You are holding me gently

While we fall asleep

Walks through the park

Hand in hand

As you tell a funny story

Like no other can

Sitting at the movies

With your arm draped across me

There’s no other place

That I’d rather be

Laying next to you

Watching as you sleep

With my head on your chest

Listening to your heart beat

Would you come knock on my door

Like you used to before

When there was no other place

You would rather be

Than in my arms

For eternity

Now the road has soon fogged up

And you’re no longer here

Saturday mornings I work

The theatre is a bore

No phone calls are made

Business takes you away

I no longer look for those flowers you send

No whispers, no longer

Do your lips brush my ear

The fire long since burned out

The snow is falling outside

There’s no tracks it’s clear

No notes left in bed

The beach is deserted

The park is so cold

The movies aren’t the same

There is so much more

I wanted to know

Now who is holding your hand

Kissing you softly

As you sleep in on Saturday

And forget all about me

Oh no more knocks on my door, anymore
