"Don't Pass Me By" Lyrics

by Richard Starkey

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

All right!

I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive.
Waiting for your knock, dear
On my old front door,
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me any more?

I hear the clock a - ticking
On the mantelshelf
See the hands a - moving
But I'm by myself.
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me any more?

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'cos you know, darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by - don't make me cry.

I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair.
You said that you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that's alright I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'cos you know, darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by - don't make me cry.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'cos you know, darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by - don't make me cry.
