Gone |
I was going on twelve, she was just nine |
Passing round her little valentines |
With the devil dancin' there in her eyes |
Teasin' someday she would be my bride |
I said, «You're just a little girl, now go on» |
And as soon as I turned around, there she was. |
.. gone |
There she was, gone. |
I started thinkin' bout her night and day |
I started singing a young love song. |
There she was, gone |
Out of school now, and she’s my girl |
But a restless soul needs to see the world |
I search for a promise in those dancing eyes |
Would she settle down by my side |
She whispers in my ear, «Babe, you can’t hold on.» |
So I opened up my arms, and there she was. |
.. gone |
There she was, gone. |
I thought about her night and day |
I was singing a lonesome song. |
There she was, gone |
Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own |
Growing like a weed in this happy home |
She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes |
But no one realizes how time flies |
Until the house is still, no more little girl’s songs |
One day we turned around, and there she was. |
.. gone |
There she was, gone. |
Oh I think about her every day |
I’m singing a lonesome song. |
There she was, gone |
I’m an old man now, she’s still my girl |
Spends her days in a long gone world |
There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes |
Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife |
She looks at me and says, «Mister, what’s wrong?» |
And right before my eyes, there she is. |
.. gone |
There she was, gone. |
I was searching for her every day |
I was singing a worried man song. |
There she was, gone |
There she was, gone. |
I’ll be thinking 'bout her all my days |
I’ll be singing a lonesome song. |
There she was, gone |
