Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
High school smiles, oh yes
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
Where she is now, I can only guess
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone away
[Instrumental]
When I see you
Eyes will turn blue
When I see you
A thousand eyes turning blue
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
It's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone away
[Instrumental]
Tell by the way you that you switch and walk
I can see by the way that you baby talk
I can know by the way that you treat your man
I can love you, baby, it's a cryin'
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yes, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
[Verse 2]
Beautiful girl, lovely dress (Gone, daddy, gone, the love is gone)
Fifteen smiles, oh yes (Gone, daddy, gone, the love is gone)
Beautiful girl, lovely dress (Gone, daddy, gone, the love is gone)
Where she is now, I can only guess (Gone, daddy, gone, the love is gone)
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Said it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone
Yeah, it's gone, daddy, gone
The love is gone away
[Outro]
Gone away (Way, way)
Gone away
Gone away
