Album: Listen to a Country Song [Columbia]
(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)
Somewhere a party's goin' on someone's there that should go home
But he's the life of the party so his friends won't let him go oh no
He's havin' a real good time tellin' jokes and drinkin' wine
And if someone's a waitin' for him you'd never know.
But at home she's lookin' out the window
Thinkin' about the good times she remembers
Holdin' back the tears and wishin' he was safe at home
Inside her two lovin' arms that sure do miss him
Two lips that long to kiss him
And once more whisper baby I love you.
Back at the party he's all smiles and his mind is a million miles
From the woman that keeps on lovin' him more and more
One more dance a little more wine he's not too worried about the time
Cause he knows she'll be waitin' there at the door.
But at home she's lookin' out the window
Thinkin' about the good times she remembers
Holdin' back the tears
And wishin' he was safe at home.
Outside she sees the car lights
She hears the door and knows he's alright
And though he's been a million places
She never looks for lipstick traces.
And in her heart she knows he's wrong
But she's so glad to have him home
And once more she whispers
As a tear falls down, she whispers
Once more she whispers I love you...
