Quietly There

Johnny Mandel, Morgan Ames

Why didn't I see your eyes turning on me
Had I been gentle when you told me goodbye
I might have caused a smile instead of your weary sigh
But no, I let you go without letting you know
How I depended on the laughs that we shared
Oh, what it meant to me to know you were there
Quietly there, happily there
I must have hurt you so many quarrels ago

Oh no, you couldn't see the love hidden in me
I stay out late now, I don't want to go home
It's dawn when I reach the door
What do I have in store
Only the quiet prayer you're waiting quietly there

No, couldn't you see the love hidden in me
I stay out late now, I don't want to go home
It's dawn when I reach the door
What do I have in store
Only the quiet prayer you're waiting quietly there
