Steve Forbert Now You Come Back lyrics

Oh well, you said goodbye and good luck in your 'Dear John' letter
And I thought I'd die 'cuz I thought we were carved in stone
And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather
And then I dried my eyes and I tried to livin' all alone

Well, the clouds piled high and the snow didn't make things better
As the time crawled by I went down through a dark ordeal
And then to my surprise there blew a breeze from a springtime heather
And as it breathed on me I could feel how my heart could heal

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back but I've got it together
Now you come back but it's a little too late

Count up the seasons, count up the months
Count up how the days you've been gone
I was a grievin' fool for you once
But now you've been gone for too long


And you just drop by on a night with that full moon shining
And you just say, "Hi" and you ask if I'm by myself
Well, you might think I'm still the same fool you left here pining
Hey, but I'm a brand new guy and I suggest you go somewhere else

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back but I've got it together
Now you come back but it's a little too late

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better
Now you come back just when ev'rything's great
Now you come back but I've got it together
Now you come back but it's a little too late
