My mind keeps on wondering
Somewhere in that distant land
Searching in the darkness for your warm tender hand
But of all I’m missing your eyes so clear and blue
Your smile and your sweet laughter
Darling, loving you is hard to do

Staring at the ceiling
Lighting candles all alone
I’m playing with the dial
While there’s no one on the phone
I’m waiting for the door bell to tell me that it’s you
Who’s standing at my doorstep
Darling, loving you is hard to do

I just try to do my best to keep you off my mind
Sweet love pieces are the best that you left here behind
I ain’t gonna search a hundred places
And all the distant points where you may hide
It’s all right

It’s all right to wander but I’ll stay where I belong
If it’s hard to love me, all my wondering would be wrong
I’ll make my morning coffee of good old mountain dew
And tell my friends and neighbours
That my loving you is hard to do

I just try to do my best to keep you off my mind
Sweet that pieces are the best that you left here behind
I ain’t gonna search a hundred places
And all the distant points where you may hide
It’s all right

It’s all right to wander but I’ll stay where I belong
If it’s hard to love me, all my wondering would be wrong
I’ll make my morning coffee of good old mountain dew
And tell my friends and neighbours
That my loving you is hard to do
