I hurried home from work today Just to find him packing It seems my prayer's been answered here Though our affair is lacking 'Cause again My tears attempt to stay And make for us a brighter Much brighter day What'll I do when you're gone, baby? What'll I do when you're gone? What'll I do when you're gone, baby? You're gone away A summer walk with you alone So close to God It's true That special kiss and a little smile Will last a whole life through So let's hold on to our brighter day And don't let it ever, ever, ever slip away What'll I do when you're gone, baby? What'll I do when you're gone? What'll I do when you're gone, baby? You're gone away So let's hold on to our brighter day And don't let it ever, ever, ever slip away What'll I do when you're gone, baby? What'll I do when you're gone? What'll I do when you're gone, baby? You're gone away What'll I do What'll I do What'll I do What'll I do You're gone away What'll I do when you're gone, baby? What'll I do when you're gone? What'll I do when you're gone, baby? You're gone away.
