KISSING MY PILLOW
(Wally Lewis / Fuzzy Owen)
Recorded by:

I tell myself I’m satisfied to live the way I do
And it was such a foolish thing to fall in love with you
I tried to make believe I’m glad you found somebody new
But I can’t hide this lonliness, it just keeps showing through
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall
And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall
And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true
And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending it’s you
I never knew how much I cared until you walked away
And left me with these memories that’s in my heart today
I thought that I could find somebody else to take your place
But memories of loving you keep standing in the way
And I keep kissing my pillow, staring at the wall
And I keep hearing your footsteps coming through the hall
And I keep doubting the million dreams that never will come true
And I keep kissing my pillow and pretending it’s you
