Junior Walker & The All Stars
Clinging Back to the Thought That She’s Coming Back
[Verse 1]
Early in the morning's when I feel it most
The fact that my baby is gone
'Cause memories are the thang she used to do
Woah, no, they won't leave me
Now, I remember how she used to comb her hair
She would stay in the mirror so long
And I remember how I would just sit and stare
I know my love for her was strong
Though the girl is gone, gone, gone and left me all alone
She's still a part of me, so I'm
[Chorus]
Clinging to the thought that she's coming back
Tomorrow, oh yes I am now
I'm clinging to the thought that she's coming back
Tomorrow, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
On my knees, face and hands, with a prayer on my lip
As the sun makes way for the moon
I begged the Lord to let her forgive me
And send her home to me soon
I just [?] my prayer will be answered
I'm gonna get ready for the day she returns
Oh, take my pride and put it aside
And then I know the lesson I learned
Oh I'd cry, cry, cry, I'd even tell a lie
If that would make her stay
[Chorus]
So I keep clinging to the thought that she's coming back
Tomorrow, oh yeah
I said I'm clinging to the thought that she's coming back
Tomorrow, oh yeah
