Hold on a minute it ain't time to leave  
Tell me how you're feeling one more time  
Four long years and I just can't believe  
That I'm still yours and you're still mine  
 
While I was gone, yes, I fell in love  
Asked around and heard that you did too  
Two drunken years and push came to shove  
I met love, love left me blue  
 
You're rising like a sun  
That pulled the curtain on the night  
Coming through the window  
To brighten up my life  
 
And I'm all right, yeah, I think I'm fine  
My savior lives in telephones  
And I just dream of you and step outside  
Dial up and hope that you're home  
 
You're rising like a sun  
That waits up all night  
Coming through the window  
To brighten up my life  
 
Hold on a minute, yeah, I do love you  
Sometimes I guess that ain't enough  
When I came round again you put me through  
And I thank you, oh, so much  
 
Another year, maybe, three or four  
Maybe five or six or even more  
You'll find another man to take my place  
And I'll see you on the good Lord's shores  
 
You're rising like a sun  
That pulled the curtain on the night  
Coming through the window  
To brighten up my life
