I try to reason
I tell myself you'll return
But you're gone
(gone)
I know you're gone
(gone)
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you child
I didn't intend it
And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes
That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away
(gone away)
Forgive and forget it
That's not what I'll ask you to do
Though I want you back
(back)
Chile I want you back
(back)
And in concluding my mental discretion
I find I've lost my only, prize possession
And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes
That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away
(gone away)
Gone away
And in concluding my mental discretion
I find I've lost my only prize possession
And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes
That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away
Gone away
Oh you're gone away, can't believe it
But now you gone away
