HELLO, DARLIN'

HELLO, DARLIN'


'Twas the night before Tuesday
In the month of December
The tree put away
'Midst the lightening & thunder;
Christmas was over
Another year ended
As I packed the last suitcase
With a jacket I'd mended.

The car is all packed
With my stuff for the city
I turn out the lights
And I'm filled with self-pity;
For what cannot be
And for what lies ahead
And I wish that my parents
Were alive and not dead.

I suddenly feel lonesome
With not even my dog
Here to wave bye to
As I drive in the fog;
The city awaits me
Who knows what's in store
And I turn on the radio
As I cry some more.

I wonder and worry if
He'll miss me for long
Or find him another
Who he'll string along;
City lights welcome me
As snowflakes do fall
And I reach for my phone
As his number I call.

"Hello, darlin".....
