Gone

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

(Smokey Rodgers)



Since you're gone

The moon, the sun, the stars in the sky

Know the reason why I cry

Love divine, once was mine

Now you're gone.



Since you're gone

My heart, my lips, my tear dimmed eyes

A lonely soul within me cries

I acted smart, I broke your heart

Now you're gone.



Oh, oh, oh, oh, what I'd give

For the lifetime I've wasted

The love that I've tasted

I was wrong, now you're gone...
