Wrote this one in 2000 after a brief but heartfelt relationship failure.

Maria and I both liked the Eagles so I thought it would be appropriate to write it in that style. (Where was Glenn Frey and Don Henley when I needed them)?

Year: 2000

t’s late in the evening the telephone rings - gee, it’s great to hear your voice again

But my voice shakes, my heart breaks and I pause for awhile

As you ask me just how I’ve been

Now I could play it cool and tell you a lie and say how great things turned out for me

But if I’m really honest and I tell you the truth

Here’s what my answer would be

I’ve been hopin’ and prayin’ since the day that you left

That somehow, someway you would see

That by hopin’ and prayin’ you’d change your mind

And you’d come back home to me

Now what makes this happen - what makes it hard? This thing between a woman a man

One day we’re fire the next day we’re ice

Guess I just don’t understand

I’ve been hopin’ and prayin’ since the day that you left

That somehow, someway you would see

That by hopin’ and prayin’ you’d change your mind

And you’d come back home to me

Instrumental

Maybe I’m crazy or just an ol’ fool to ever think we could love again

‘cause you’ve got your space girl, that you must be in

That keeps me just being a friend

 I’ve been hopin’ and prayin’ since the day that you left

That somehow, someway you would see

That by hopin’ and prayin’ you’d change your mind

And you’d come back home to me
