Long Away Lover Lyrics

I got a letter in the mail today

From my girl so far away

If she were here to her I'd say

I'm gonna love you every day

Yes it has been quite some time

But I can't get her off my mind

And though we're so far apart

I love her with all my heart

She's my long away lover

I couldn't look for another

Oh yeah, I love her so

Well it's been about a year or more

Since my baby walked out that door

And though we both had some fears

We managed to hold back the tears

She's my long away lover

I couldn't look for another

Oh yeah, I need her so

It won't be long till she'll be back home

Then I won't feel so all alone

I don't need any other

Cause I've got my long away lover

Yeah, she's my long away lover

I don't want no other
