Lyric 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
