Dolly

Love, look in my window

Love, knock on my door

It's years since you've called on me



How I would love hearing your laughter once more

So if you should ever be in the neighborhood

Let's talk about old times.

Love, pull up a chair

How I miss your friendly smile



Love, look in my window

Love, knock on my door

Oh, love, come in and stay awhile



Oh, Ephraim, let me go!

It's been long enough, Ephraim.

Every evening for all these years,

I've put out the cat.

I've locked the door.

I even made myself a little rum toddy.

And before I went to bed, I said a prayer,

Thanking God that I was independent

That no one else's life was mixed up with mine.

But Ephraim,

I need someone else's life mixed up with mine.

So if you should ever be in the neighborhood,

Let's talk about old times.

Love, pull up a chair,

How I miss your friendly smile



Love, look in my window

Love, knock on my door

Oh, love, come in and stay awhile



Oh, Ephraim, let me go!

It's been long enough, Ephraim.

Every evening for all these years,

I've put out the cat.

I've locked the door.

I even made myself a little rum toddy.

And before I went to bed, I said a prayer,

Love, pull up a chair,

How I miss your friendly smile



Love, look in my window

Love, knock on my door

Oh, love, come in and stay awhile!
