Leave Me Longing - Ben Caplan

All my books I put away on the shelves we built together

My clothes are neatly folded in the drawers

The german plant you bought for me has been watered

All my records have been put back in order

The dishes have been done

I swept the floors

I put your paintings on my wall

Set the mouse traps in the hall

Now I’m waiting for the fall when you’ll come back to me

So leave me longing, my one and only

Leave me longing for you

The doors have all been open, I let everybody in

The house is still alive

Without you by my side

Life goes on, and on, and on

And I still have sunny days

And I still have rainy days

And I still have days when all I think of is you

I see your paintings on my wall

I wish that she would call

And I’m waiting for the fall when you’ll come back to me

So leave me longing, my one and only

Leave me longing for you

So leave me lonely

Leave me longing for you
