St. Louis Song Lyrics

I'll never forget how you told me

We were sitting there in your car

You said there were dreams that you had for your life

And staying put is not who you are

That was the last time I saw you

You were gone the very next day

Trying to hide from the tears in my eyes

There's so much that I never could say...



When you come back to St. Louis

And I know that you will someday

I won't be angry with you for leaving

I understand why you couldn't stay



I was sure one day that I saw you

But I knew that it couldn't be true

My eyes were just playing tricks on my heart

As my eyes so often will do

That was a long time ago

I find I can't picture your face anymore

I do hope you found what you went looking for...



So please come back to St. Louis

It's not the same 'round here when you're gone

I will wait for you in St. Louis

I will wait...'til you come back home
