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
