You Stayed Away Too Long

You stayed away too long, I mean a day too long

You had me ripe and ready to pick you for my steady

And then you stayed away too long

You made a big mistake, I mean a big mistake

You let the fire smolder as I was growing older

And then you stayed away too long

So sure were you that no one new

Could fill your shoes, or heal my blues

You had my heart, but acted smart

You broke the string, oh, you silly thing

You stayed away too long, had your say too long

You had me in a coma, now you've lost your diploma

Because you stayed away too long

So sure were you that no one new

Could fill your shoes, or heal my blues

You had my heart, but acted smart

You broke the string, oh, you silly thing

Oh, you stayed away too long, had your say too long

You had me in a coma, you've lost your diploma

Because you stayed away too long

Because you stayed away too long
