You Been Away Too Long - Marlena Shaw

作曲：Benard Ighner

If you knew

How much I miss you

You've been away too long

You shouldn't stay so long

Now my life is much too empty

When you're gone

Now how you wouldn't stay so long

You could not stay so long

If you know how much I miss you babe

When you're gone

All day long

And every night it's you

I'm thinkin' of

We belong

Like the stars to the night

If you looked in your heart

You would know that I'm right so

Don't make me wait so long

How could you take so long

Everything seemed so empty baby

And life wasn't meant to be lonely baby

Oh darlin' you know it's you only

When you're gone

I sit back all day long

Each and every night

It's only you

That I'm thinkin' of

We belong

Like the stars in the night

If you looked in your heart

You would know that I'm right

So why should you make me wait so long

How could you take so long

You know that everything seems so empty

And life wasn't meant to be lonely

And I'll let you know it's you only

When you're gone

Oh baby

Yeah daddy

When you-

When you're gone

Who could stand it

Knowin' the kind of love you got

What woman could take it

When she's had of your love
