I was waiting for a call from you,

but I was waiting rather long.

So, I took my guitar and played it

while looking for a song.

I thought I'd write something especially for you,

just a little tune to tell you that my love is true.

I couldn't put down in words what my guitar had to say.

Perhaps I'd better wait another day.

But, there I was alone again,

yet I knew I'd see you soon.

My music kept humming,

and my thoughts kept running

but, I was singing out of tune.
