Who'll blow out the candles
Keep the wood stove burning bright
Be the first to say I'm sorry
After fighting half the night
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
Who'll pick up the pieces when
Strong words cut to the bone
Who'll be there to hold me tight
When I'm feeling all alone
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
Who'll bring me flowers
To cheer me when I'm low
Who'll say I love you
You're beautiful, you know?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Just what you value most
Until it's gone and all that's left
Is a memory, or a ghost
Come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
Some say there's none so blind
As those who will not see
Who walk through life's forest
Without seeing a single tree
I never heard the ticking clock
I let the grain of sand
Slip through my fingers when it was
Right there in my own hand
So come on back, come on back
Let me love you if you can
Come on back, come on back
You're my best friend, you're my man
