THE CLOCK
(D. Mattis)


Roy Hamilton - 1960


I looked at the face of the clock on the wall
And it doesn't tell me nothing at all
That face on the clock seems to stare at me
'Cause it knows I am lonely and always will be

I wanta cry my heart out
Won't you please come back to me
I've got nothing but time to step out
But time means nothing to me

If you hear me, please come back real soon
'Cause the clock and I are so lonely in this room

I wanta cry my heart out
Won't you please come back to me
I've got nothing but time to step out
But time means nothing to me

If you hear me, please come back real soon
'Cause the clock and I are so lonely in this room
Yes, the clock and I are so lonely in this room
Come on, pretty baby, you know I'm lonely in this room
Mmmm, pretty baby ........... FADE
