Long Time Gone

Tossed all night -- tired all day
Looking for right words -- can't think of none to say
Blue is forever -- and you'll be a long time gone.
You lit up my nights -- you brightened my days
You made it so right, in so many ways
Looks like bad weather -- and you'll be a long time gone.
I hope I get through it -- this feeling so sad
But you was the best damn woman I ever had
Blue is forever -- and you'll be a long time gone.
Keep thinkin' it's you -- when I answer the phone
Then I remember, and I feel so alone
Looks like bad weather -- and you'll be a long time gone.
I sit and remember all the sweet things you'd say
Now I'm cursing the angels who came and took you away.
Blue is forever -- and you'll be a long time gone.
I'm feelin' so empty -- never known this much pain
I might take my pistol and just switch off my brain
Looks like bad weather -- and you'll be a long time gone.
Bridge:
I know that they say
That a man shouldn't cry
But I can't think about you
Without tears in my eyes. . . .
My friends try to tell me
It'll get better some day
But ain't nothing gettin' better
Since you've gone away.

So the time slowly passes -- but it don't heal the scars
Just want to be with you -- wherever you are
Blue is forever -- and you'll be a long time gone.
And now I'm just searching -- for a reason to live
In a world without you and all the good things that you'd give me.
Looks like bad weather . . .
Looks like real bad weather . . .
Blue is forever . . .
And you'll be a long time…………. gone. . .
