Lyrics
Just Around the Corner From Lonesome
Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1994
Darlin? yes, it?s been awhile,
Since you went away.
The angels came to take you home,
They told me I must stay.
There is a moment every night,
I wake up and miss the sight,
Of seeing you, lying next to me.
Chorus:
Now I?m, Just Around the Corner From Lonesome
Half a block from blue,
Just across the street is heaven?s door.
But I can?t get to you.
My memory tries to kiss your lips.
How I miss your tenderness,
Can you see me love?
I?m just around the corner from lonesome.
Verse:
I?ve traveled ?round this big ol? world,
And back again.
Nowhere did I see your face,
Or get to hold your hand.
The message comin? loud and strong,
Doesn?t seem to matter how long your gone.
There?s no one here,
Could love me like you could.
