With the sweet drip of every raindrop
  Time brings you closer to me
  And with each new sign at every train-stop
  Another hour without you is consigned to history
  
  And with each tick of my alarm clock
  I get crazy for the days to get to you
  When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
  Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
  
  But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
  When I think that I might not make it through
  
  But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
  To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
  And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
  To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
  
  So this morning I picked up the paper
  In the useless descent of the rain
  While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
  Lie and cheat just the same
  And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
  Love can't save you now
  As each little motion of my writswatch
  Holds up my faith somehow
  
  But as day turns to night there's this hopelessness to fight
  When I think that I might not make it through
  
  But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
  To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
  And sometimes when I'm blue, I know just what to do
  To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
  
  When I've used up all my patience
  When your letters have been read twenty times through
  I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
  But it ain't no replacement
  It ain't no replacement for you
