This girl I know is recording a CD and she asked me to write her a song about a wife that's waiting for her truck-driving husband to come home...



THROW ME A KISS

(T. Beechey)



My baby's been gone for a week-and-a-half

And I haven't laughed since he said good-bye

I cry every night when he's not beside me

These tears I can't hide,so I just let them dry



Cause more will follow until he returns

I'm yearning for just a glimpse,nothing more

And I'm sure today he'll be passing by here

I hope it was clear what I asked him for



You go down the street and around the corner

Past the worn-out welcome sign

And mine's on the left,you cannot miss it

Just throw me a kiss so I know you're mine



I know he can't stop,he's in a hurry

But I worry so much whenever he's gone

From dusk till dawn,I'm sitting waiting

Anticipating what bad could go on



Is he all right? Did he make it?

How will I take it? If only I knew

Yaw-hoo! He's comin'! He just told me

I wish he could hold me but,for now,this must do



You go down the street and around the corner

Past the worn-out welcome sign

And mine's on the left,you cannot miss it

Just throw me a kiss so I know you're mine



(Instrumental Break)



I sit by the window,hopin' and prayin'

That he's okay and soon I will see

Lucky me! I just heard his horn blowin'

And now I'm knowin' it was all meant to be



You go down the street and around the corner

Past the worn-out welcome sign

And mine's on the left,you cannot miss it

Just throw me a kiss so I know you're mine
