footsteps...

Nobody here
Never anybody here
I thought this was how I wanted it
Never minded it before, never one bit
Just lately this feeling is beginning to nag

I’d like somebody here
Someone to turn out the light
Someone to whisper goodnight
I’d like somebody here

I don’t think I’m asking much
Not for the stars and not for the moon
Not even for a whistle, not even for a swoon.
Just to have someone by my side
Who’s eyes I catch and whose eyes catch mine

I’d like somebody here
Someone to turn out the light
Someone to whisper goodnight
I’d like somebody here

So bring that somebody round
Oh how great will be the sound
Of the somebody’s key in the door
And the footsteps on the floor
Getting louder and louder as they approach…

I’d like somebody here
Someone to turn out the light
Someone to whisper, beautiful, goodnight
I’d like somebody here

So, when those footsteps, will I hear?
