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
