Lyrics
Long Gone Love
Once upon a time I held my true love close to me
A picture perfect moment in a scrapbook memory
But even true love turns away and takes off on the wind
And I don?t know if it?ll ever come this way again
Love parts pure as a pearl
On the wings of a morning dove
It?s just a broken heart but it ain?t the end of the world
It?s just another long gone love
I wrote my dear departed and I called her on the phone
I walked up to her door and knocked but she wasn?t home
Set her free to meet a man who?d make that wedding vow
Guess we never really had a future anyhow
Repeat chorus
Ever since all my good fortune up and flew away
I?ve been trying to tell myself that everything will be okay
Cause even true love turns away and takes off on the wind
And I don?t know if it?ll ever come this way again
Repeat chorus
