I'll never forget how you told me We were sitting there in your car You said there were dreams that you had for your life And staying put is not who you are That was the last time I saw you You were gone the very next day Trying to hide from the tears in my eyes There's so much that I never could say When you come back to St. Louis And I know that you will someday I won't be angry with you for leaving I understand why you couldn't stay I was sure one day that I saw you But I knew that it couldn't be true My eyes were just playing tricks on my heart As my eyes so often will do That was a long time ago I find I can't picture your face anymore I do hope you found what you went looking for So please come back to St. Louis It's not the same 'round here when you're gone I will wait for you in St. Louis I will wait...'til you come back home
