As The Day Wears On

(Vincent Matthews)



Right now he's looking for his pants and socks

Can't find the car keys on the dresser top

He'll spill his milk and leave it in the kitchen floor

And as the day wears on he'll miss me more and more.



He'll go to work without a kiss from me

It'll cross his mind, he said I'd never leave

Forget his coat and catch a deaf of cold

And as the day wears on he'll miss me more and more



--- Instrumental ---



He'll tell the guys he's bothered not at all

Then drink his lunch so he won't have to call

He'll tell himself I'm home like the day before

But as the day wears on he'll doubt it more and more.



He'll come home to a house that's dark and quiet

And has to face another sleepless night

He'll watch TV and read and walk the floor

And as the day wears on he'll miss me more and more.



And then he'll phone and ask me to come home

That things have gone to pieces 'cause I'm gone

His phonecall is all I'm waiting for

'Cause as the day wears on I'll miss me more and more.



'Cause as the day wears on I'll miss me more and more...
