Lyrics
Sitting by the fireside and dreaming lovely things
While I’m waiting for a knock or a precious call
Suddenly I’m startled, my heart leaps up and sings
As I hear familiar footsteps along the hall
Chorus
If it’s you when a knock comes at my door
If it’s you, then I’ll rush across the floor
But if you’re not there the sky falls on my schemes again
I close the door and rush back to my dreams again
When I’m blue and the phone rings in the gloom
If it’s you, there’s a rainbow in my room
And when someone kneels with someone making vows for two
If it’s me I’ll be in heaven, if it’s you
