A Beginning (take 4) / Don't Pass Me By Songtext
von The Beatles

This is the introduction to Ringo′s "Don't pass me by"
Take 4

I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don′t arrive
Waiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me any more?

I hear the clock a′ticking
On the mantle shelf
See the hands a′moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I′m by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don′t love me any more?


Don't pass me by
Don′t make me cry
Don't make me blue
'Cause you know, darling, I love only you
You′ll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don′t pass me by
Don't make me cry

I′m sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said that you would be late
About an hour or two
I said that's alright I′m waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you

Don't pass me by
Don′t make me cry
Don't make me blue
'Cause you know, darling, I love only you
You′ll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don′t pass me by
Don't make me cry


I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don′t arrive
Waiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don′t love me any more?

Don't pass me by
Don′t make me cry
Don't make me blue
'Cause you know, darling, I love only you
You′ll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don′t pass me by
Don't make me cry

I′m waiting for you, honey
Hurry up to me
I don't want you to pass me by
I don′t want you to make me cry
I want you to make me happy
Happy, happy
'Cause that′s what I want
This is so friendly
This is so friendly
This is so friendly
