Slaid Cleaves - Gone lyrics
[Slaid Cleaves - Gone lyrics]
I was going on twelve, she was just nine
Passing round her little valentines
With the devil dancin’ there in her eyes
Teasin’ someday she would be my bride
I said, "You’re just a little girl
Now go on" and as soon as I turned around
There she was gone there she was
Gone i started thinkin’ bout
Her night and day
I started singing a young love
Song there she was, gone
Out of school now, and she’s my girl
But a restless soul needs to see the world
I search for a promise in those dancing eyes
Would she settle down by my side
She whispers in my ear, "Babe
You can’t hold on" so I opened up my arms
And there she was gone there she was
Gone i thought about her night and day
I was singing a lonesome song there she was
Gone
Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own
Growing like a weed in this happy home
She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes
But no one realizes how time flies
Until the house is still
No more little girl’s songs
One day we turned around
And there she was gone
There she was, gone oh
I think about her every day
I’m singing a lonesome song there she was
Gone i’m an old man now, she’s still my girl
Spends her days in a long gone world
There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes
Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife
She looks at me and says, "Mister
What’s wrong?"
And right before my eyes, there she is gone
There she was
Gone i was searching for her every day
I was singing a worried man
Song there she was, gone
There she was
Gone i’ll be thinking ’bout her all my days
I’ll be singing a lonesome
Song there she was, gone
Passing round her little valentines
With the devil dancin’ there in her eyes
Teasin’ someday she would be my bride
I said, "You’re just a little girl
Now go on" and as soon as I turned around
There she was gone there she was
Gone i started thinkin’ bout
Her night and day
I started singing a young love
Song there she was, gone
Out of school now, and she’s my girl
But a restless soul needs to see the world
I search for a promise in those dancing eyes
Would she settle down by my side
She whispers in my ear, "Babe
You can’t hold on" so I opened up my arms
And there she was gone there she was
Gone i thought about her night and day
I was singing a lonesome song there she was
Gone
Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own
Growing like a weed in this happy home
She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes
But no one realizes how time flies
Until the house is still
No more little girl’s songs
One day we turned around
And there she was gone
There she was, gone oh
I think about her every day
I’m singing a lonesome song there she was
Gone i’m an old man now, she’s still my girl
Spends her days in a long gone world
There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes
Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife
She looks at me and says, "Mister

And right before my eyes, there she is gone
There she was
Gone i was searching for her every day
I was singing a worried man
Song there she was, gone
There she was
Gone i’ll be thinking ’bout her all my days
I’ll be singing a lonesome
Song there she was, gone
