Clyde McPhatter & The Drifters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry my eyes out over you
Wond'ring if I did right
And why you left me with a broken heart
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
Oh, how I miss you, my dear
Please, please, come back to me
As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway
What's left for me to face?
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway
What's left for me to face?
Oh, oh, oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
Please, please, come back to me
You've been gone too long
