Beautiful lyrics written by Lynn Orloff that touched me and brought about this collab.
Lynn Orloff posted these lyrics in a songwriter forum challenge at JPFolks. As soon as I read the lyrics, I wanted to give it a try.
Too Long Gone
(c)2008 Lynn Orloff
Music and vocals Letha Allen
I feel so down, I feel so blue,
I know there's somethin' missin',
That somethin' babe is only you,
And your sweet lips I used to be kissin'
Chorus
You been too, long gone, my baby,
You been gone, too long a time,
You been too, long gone, my baby,
And I can't get you out of my mind,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back
Baby just hurry back, hurry to me
So hard, to pull it all together,
I Feel like I'm comin,' all undone,
Since you went away,
It aint no fun...Ahh
Ah, You been gone, way, gone too long my baby,
Ahh, You been gone too long a time,
Yea, You been too, long gone, oh my baby,
And I can't get you out of my mind,
Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back
Oh, Baby just hurry back, hurry to me
Bridge:
Ahh, I'm down and I'm out,
When I'm out I'm just down,
Beggin' you dahlin',
Oh, To come back around...
You see,
You been too long gone, oh my baby,
You been gone, too long a time,
You been too, long gone, sweet baby,
And I can't get you out of my mind,
Hurry back, hurry back,
OH Baby just hurry back
Hurry to me
Hurry to me.
