Just Stop By

I miss you, today, and wish you would stop by.
If ever I needed someone to just come and say, "Hi,"
It's today, when I feel so lonely and shy.

Don't know why there are so many days that pass by
That no one comes to see me, to make my day brighter.

I can remember when I was the one who went by to check
On the lonely and depressed, just to make them smile.

Now, it is I that is homebound and tired.
Seems as if no one remembers those times ...

When I knocked on The door with a great big, "Hello!" ~
To see how you were, if you needed a place to go.

Just to cheer you up and to see you smile
Was enough for me to drive many miles.

Would you stop by so I will not cry?
I am trying real hard. But, I feel the big sigh.

That makes me weary, when I wonder why
Everyone is too busy just to stop by.
