Counting the Hours
(John Howie Jr. and Tift Merritt)
If my thoughts seem kind of scattered
Won't you try and understand
That my mind's been known to wander now and then
My hopes they all seem shattered
Despite my best-laid plans
And I've learned that time won't really be my friend
I don't remember just how we left it
I thought you were gonna call me in a while
But with every passing minute
It just seems to get harder to smile
Chorus:
And I've been counting the hours
Thinking about old times
Drinking to your memory
And dreaming of the days when you were mine
Well my skittish heart is weary
And you know when I get lonely
My heart's been known to wander all alone
But I get myself together
But despite my best-laid plans
Darling I'm no better on my own
I don't remember just how we left it
I thought you were gonna call me in a while
Would you hate me very badly?
Baby can I change my mind?
Chorus
'Cause I've been counting the hours...
I've been dreamin' of the days when you were mine
