I'LL PIN A NOTE ON YOUR PILLOW
(Carol Berzas / Don Goodman / Nelson Larkin)


Billy Joe Royal - 1987





It's just not working, we've both known for sometime
That old fire's been out for so long, we've just stopped trying
The only time we're touching is when we're passing in the hall
And yesterday's "I love yous" don't really matter at all

I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind
Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time
Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone
But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone

I wish that we could go back and love like we did before
We've been, alone together so long I can't take any more
My body's crying, wake up, let me hold you one more time
But you just go right on sleeping, my heart won't let me change my mind

I might as well be leaving, I'm already out of your mind
Baby, go right on dreaming, your dreams just might come true this time
Tomorrow when you wake up, you'll be lying here all alone
But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone

But I'll pin a note on your pillow or you might not even notice I'm gone
