G                         C
Hold on a minute it ain't time to leave 
                                    G
Tell me how you're feeling one more time.
G                         C
Four long years and I just can't believe
                                    G
That I'm still yours and your still mine.


                         C
While I was gone, yes, I fell in love 
                                    G
Asked around and heard that you did too 
                           C
Two drunken years and push came to shove 
                         G
I met love, love left me blue


Bm     C             G
You're rising like a sun 
Bm              C              G
That pulled the curtain on the night 
D                 C
Coming through the window 
   G        Am     C       G
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 you come round 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
