[Verse 1: Frank Loesser, Lynn Loesser, Both]
Oh, I look through the newspapers mornin' and night
Mornin' and night
For a message to come shinin' through
Come shinin' through
Sayin', "All is forgiven and all is forgotten"
And callin' me home to you

[Verse 1: Frank Loesser, Lynn Loesser, Both]
Oh, I read every name while I'm searchin' for mine
Searchin' for mine
And I envy those fortunate men
Fortunate men
Findin' all is forgiven and all is forgotten
And hurryin' home again

[Bridge: Frank Loesser]
Oh, I know you were right and I know I was wrong
But I can't come and beg at your door
But oh, darling, if you ever knew how I long
For a sign that you want me once more

[Verse 1: Frank Loesser, Lynn Loesser, Both]
So I look through the newspapers mornin' and night
Mornin' and night
For a mеssage to come shinin' through
Come shinin' through
Sayin', "All is forgivеn and all is forgotten"
And callin' me home to you
