Long Gone Lover

(William "Smokey" Robinson)

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
