Song Description

A woman clings to a fading memory as she waits by the window, year after year, holding onto the hope that the man who promised to return will one day come back home.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The last time I saw him, it was a cold autumn day,
He packed up his Chevy and said he was going away.
Didn't know where he was headed, didn't know when he'd be back,
Left me with a photograph, faded and cracked.

(Chorus)
The last time I saw him, he looked back and smiled,
Said, "Don't you worry, I'm just gone for a while."
But the seasons kept turning, and I'm still here alone,
Waiting by the window, staring at the phone.

(Verse 2)
I've seen many sunsets since he drove out of sight,
I keep the porch light on every single night.
The driveway's empty, the leaves have turned brown,
Another year over, and he's still not around.

(Chorus)
The last time I saw him, he looked back and smiled,
Said, "Don't you worry, I'm just gone for a while."
But the seasons kept turning, and I'm still here alone,
Waiting by the window, staring at the phone.

(Instrumental Break)
- - - (Repeat Twice)

(Key Change - A Major)

(Bridge)
Maybe he's found what he needed, that peace of mind,
Maybe he's somewhere where troubles are hard to find.
I pray he remembers, no matter how far he roams,
That someone's here waiting, hoping he'll come home.

(Chorus)
The last time I saw him, he looked back and smiled,
Said, "Don't you worry, I'm just gone for a while."
But the years keep on passing, and I'm growing old,
The fire's now ashes, the coffee's gone cold.

(Outro)
If he ever comes back, I'll be here like before,
With open arms and love, standing by the door.
The last time I saw him, he swore he wouldn't be long,
But it's just a memory, and life goes on.
