Lyrics

I Need You in the Morning


Intro

I need you in my arms in the morning,
And to know that you feel the same way too,
I need to hear your footsteps in the hallway,
And I miss you ever since that day in June.

Chorus
I wait to hear the sound of
Your key in our front door,
And I start to go to meet you,
But you're not there anymore.

You were strong in all the ways that I wasn't,
And you always had a story you could tell,
People always liked to be around you
You always made them feel you knew them well.


Chorus
I wait to hear the sound of
Your key in our front door,
And I start to go to meet you,
But you're not there anymore.

I wait to hear the sound of
Your key in our front door,
And I start to go to meet you,
But you're not there anymore.

Guitar solo

You decided that life had more to offer,
And exciting adventures lay ahead,
You got on that old train one Sunday morning
And left me without a word being said.

Chorus
I wait to hear the sound of
Your key in our front door,
And I start to go to meet you,
But you're not there anymore.

I wait to hear the sound of
Your key in our front door,
And I start to go to meet you,
But you're not there anymore.

Anymore.
