| Baby, when I’m gone
|
| You know I think about you
|
| You’re growing up so fast
|
| And I’m gettin' older too
|
| And I’ve made mistakes
|
| Yeah, I’m living proof of that
|
| All the wasted days
|
| Can’t ever get 'em back
|
| Check my bags, board again
|
| It’s a lonely flight from where I’ve been
|
| Can’t turn money back to time
|
| Take it from me, darling of mine
|
| And I’ve been doubting it these days
|
| The river, it runs
|
| Only one way
|
| And when it’s gone (When it’s gone)
|
| It’s gone to stay
|
| Baby, when I’m gone
|
| You’re learnin' how to live
|
| Remember not to take so much
|
| So you have something left to give
|
| Just think of me in the love that I leave behind
|
| Let it grow around you
|
| Like a tie that binds
|
| Half disconnected on the phone
|
| I face the crowd, but I sleep alone
|
| Can’t turn money back to time
|
| Take it from me, darling of mine
|
| And I’ve been doubting it these days
|
| The river, it runs
|
| Only one way
|
| When it’s gone (When it’s gone)
|
| It’s gone to stay |
