Without You Words by Judy Mermelstein Music by Jim Best © Copyright by Judy Mermelstein & Jim Best It’s been such a long time since I heard from you And meanwhile at this end nothing much is new Work is just like always, and the days pass just the same Today was clear, but soon we’ll get some rain I’m drinking too much wine And time hangs heavy waiting for you The house seems very empty without you Maybe life’s too tame Morning coffee’s not the same And all our friends keep asking about you It was so good to hear that you are doing well But I can’t shake the feeling there is more to tell I know you said you miss me, but I’m not convinced you do Anyway, not like I’m missing you The politicians talk After work I take a walk And wish you could be walking with me too The leaves have fallen down They’re ankle-deep upon the ground There isn’t much to do here without you Write and say you’re fine Tell me that you’re coming home soon Tell me that I’m silly to feel blue I’m drinking too much wine And time hangs heavy waiting for you There isn’t much to do here without you
