Hold  on a minute it ain't time  to leave
 Tell me how you're feeling one more time.
Four  long years and I just  can't believe
 That I'm still yours and your still mine.
 While I was gone, yes, I fell  in love
 Asked around and heard that you did too
 Two drunken years and push came  to shove
 I met love, love left me blue
You're rising  like a sun
That  pulled the curtain  on the night
Coming  through the window
 To brighten up  my life
 And I'm all right, yeah, I think I'm fine
 My savior lives in telephones
 And I just dream of you and step outside
 Dial up and hope that you're home
 You're rising like a sun
 That waits up all night
 Coming through the window
 To brighten up my life
 Hold on a minute, yeah, I do love you
 Sometimes I guess that ain't enough
 When you come round you put me through
 And I thank you, oh, so much
 Another year, maybe, three or four
 Maybe five or six or even more
 You'll find another man to take my place
 And I'll see you on the good Lord's shores
 You're rising like a sun
 That pulled the curtain on the night
 Coming through the window
 To brighten up my life
