Chorus

Flo):

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

Verse 1 Diana :

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

Verse 2 Diana :

He's been gone for such a long long time

But you know I'm sure that he's still mine

When the things people say are hurting me

Tryin' to make me think he's deserted me

I just kiss his letter and I feel better

Wo wo wo wo oh, wo wo wo wo oh

(chorus)

(instrumental, in pattern of last 3 lines of a verse)

(chorus)

Verse 3 Diana :

I got a letter from him just this afternoon

Tellin' 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

Wo wo wo wo oh, wo wo wo wo oh

Fading sequence (Flo):

My baby's gone down the line

But I know he's still mine

I still love him, yes I love him
