From the recording Every Lonely Night
Written in the style of the old R&B songs. Topic is the love triangle with a twist. In this song the third party has left the relationship. The remaining two are stuck. He sees her teardrops as she stares out over the ocean and wonders if she still loves the other man, hoping she will turn to him once again.
Lyrics
Saw you standing by the ocean
Teardrops in your eyes
Do you still think about him
Every morning
Every evening
Every lonely night
Out beyond the horizon
Ships sail toward the setting sun
Restless tides carry them away
Tell me darlin’
Tell me darlin’
Is he still the one
I stand here in the twilight
And I know how you feel
I will stand here waiting
Hoping you will turn to me
So we can walk hand in hand
I can dry your eyes
And tell you that I missed you
Every morning
Every evening
Every lonely night
I stand here in the twilight
And I know how you feel
I will stand here forever
Hoping you will turn to me
Then we can walk hand in hand
I can dry your eyes
And tell you that I missed you
Every morning
Every evening
Every lonely night
There’ll be no more mornings
No more evenings
No more lonely nights
