Long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone, long gone
Let me tell you that he's far far away But I think about him every day In my dreams at night I see his face Ain't no other guy gonna take his place I just kiss his letter And I feel better
He's been gone for such a long long time But you know I'm sure that he's still mine Though the things people say are hurting me They're tryin' to make me think He's deserting me I just kiss his letter And I feel better
Long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone, long gone
Long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone, long gone
I got a letter from him just this afternoon Telling me that he'll be coming soon Whenever I'm down and feeling bad Whenever my heart is feeling sad I just kiss his letter And I feel better
Long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover My baby is a long gone lover
