Now You Come Back Lyrics - Singles - Steve Forbert

Oh well, you said goodbye and good luck in your 'Dear John' letter 

And I thought I'd die 'cuz I thought we were carved in stone 

And it made me cry as I walked through the clear, cold weather 

And then I dried my eyes and I tried to livin' all alone 

Well, the clouds piled high and the snow didn't make things better 

As the time crawled by I went down through a dark ordeal 

And then to my surprise there blew a breeze from a springtime heather 

And as it breathed on me I could feel how my heart could heal 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's great 

Now you come back but I've got it together 

Now you come back but it's a little too late 

Count up the seasons, count up the months 

Count up how the days you've been gone 

I was a grievin' fool for you once 

But now you've been gone for too long 

And you just drop by on a night with that full moon shining 

And you just say, "Hi" and you ask if I'm by myself 

Well, you might think I'm still the same fool you left here pining 

Hey, but I'm a brand new guy and I suggest you go somewhere else 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's great 

Now you come back but I've got it together 

Now you come back but it's a little too late 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's better 

Now you come back just when ev'rything's great 

Now you come back but I've got it together 

Now you come back but it's a little too late
