Lyrics
Haven't heard from you lately
I don't mean to be bothering you
People ask how you're doing
Can't admit that I haven't a clue
I'm sure yuo've just been real busy
The city and all it's bright lights
I know they're much more exciting
Than our dull country nights
(chorus)
The piano stopped drinking soon after you went away
and chatty ol' Cathy, ran out of things to say
But George is still crossing the Delaware
Billie's still singing the blues
Lisa's still smiling her own special smile
And I'm still here waiting for you
Things here have been, well, slow
Sue had her baby last June
I just wanna make sure that you know
that i'm so proud of you
chorus out
