I was going on twelve, she was just nine
Passing round her little valentines
With the devil dancinâ there in her eyes
Teasinâ someday she would be my bride
I said, âYouâre just a little girl, now go onâ
And as soon as I turned around, there she was . . . gone
There she was, gone. I started thinkinâ bout her night and day
I started singing a young love song. There she was, gone
Out of school now, and sheâs 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, âBabe, you canât hold on.â
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 weâre Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own
Growing like a weed in this happy home
Sheâs got that devil in her mamaâs blue eyes
But no one realizes how time flies
Until the house is still, no more little girlâs songs
One day we turned around, and there she was . . . gone
There she was, gone. Oh I think about her every day
Iâm singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone
Iâm an old man now, sheâs still my girl
Spends her days in a long gone world
Thereâs a darker devil hiding in her eyes
Telling her, sheâs someone elseâs wife
She looks at me and says, âMister, whatâs wrong?â
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. Iâll be thinking âbout her all my days
Iâll be singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone
