I WISH I KNEW
Jenny & Gerry Reeves

Jenny Reeves


He Went To Sleep This Mornin'
Came In From Workin' Late
I Heard Him Walk In Through The Door
'Cause I'd Been Still Awake
I Thought He'd Come And Kiss Me
But He Just Passed Me By
Didn't Even Stop To Say Hello
Then I Began To Cry


I've Got To Find The Answer
So I'll Stay Up Late Tonight
I'll Call Him At The Office 
To See If It's Alright
For Him To Come On Home To Me
I Need Him By My Side
It Seems So Long Since He's Been Gone
I Need Him Home Tonight


SPOKEN:
I WISH I KNEW Just What I've Done
And Why He Treats Me So
Is It Because The Baby's Due?
Oh God, I WISH I KNEW
I'm Prayin' Now That He Might Feel
How Much He Means To Me
And That You'd Find A Way To Send Him
Safely Home To Me


I Sat In Bed And Took The Phone
With Trembling Hands I Dialed
A Woman's Voice At The Other End 
Told Me My Husband Lied
She Said He's Out Again Tonight
He's Been Steppin' Out On You
I Said My God The Baby's Here
Please Tell Me What To Do


When He Came Home That Mornin'
We Looked Down At Him And Smiled
My Son And I Gazed Down At Him
And Saw Him Weep And Cry
We're Up With God In Heaven Now
And He's Left All Alone
He's Payin' Now For What He's Done
All He Has Is An Empty Home
He's Payin' Now For What He's Done
All He Has Is An Empty Home.
