Knock, Knock (Who's There?)

Written by John Carter & Geoff Stephens

Tears of rain run down my window pane 
I'm on my own again, good evening, sorrow 
Sit and dream of how things might have been 
And as I close my eyes, I get the strangest feeling 

Knock knock - who's there? 
Could this be love that's calling? 
The door is always open wide 
Knock knock - who's there? 
Now as the night is falling 
Take off your coat and come inside 

Climb the stair and then I say a prayer 
For someone who could share my situation 
But instead as I lay down my head 
I have to leave it all to my imagination 

Knock knock - who's there? 
Could this be love that's calling? 
The door is always open wide 
Knock knock - who's there? 
Now as the night is falling 
Take off your coat and come inside 

La la la la la la la la la... 
La la la la la la la la la la la... 
La la la la la la la la la... 
La la la la la la la la la la la... 

Sit and dream of how things might have been 
And as I close my eyes, I get the strangest feeling 

Knock knock - who's there? 
Could this be love that's calling? 
The door is always open wide 
Knock knock - who's there? 
Now as the night is falling 
Take off your coat and come inside 
Take off your coat and come inside
