Lyrics
Baby where've you been so long
I've been down since you've been gone
won't you take me home
I get sad here all alone
Maybe I did not treat you like I should
or tell you all the things I could
about the special things you are
now the winter makes me hard
Lately it seems I'm sinking down
I feel the darkness gather 'round
since you've been gone
I stay awake too long
