I could never hear you when you told me that you loved me,
G C D
I could never hear you when you called my name,

I could only listen to the beat of my own heart,
C G D
I could never hear you at all,
G C D
I could never see it when you needed some affection,
G C D
And I could never see it when you lost your way,
Bm Em Am D
And I could not see you leaving me until it was too late,
C G D
I could never see it at all,
Bb F C Dm
Oh, day after day I was lost in my own world,

Did you call me to be here again,

And night after night did you dream of a lover

Who would come here and take you away?

It is never easy to give up and just surrender,

So heres a promise to you,

Oh, day after day I will be there in your world,

I want you to come back again,

And night after night I will give you my love

And I will tenderly take you away,

And I will always listen to things that need saying,

Day after day, day after day.
