A ballad a day for June 2014 - day 1 - Gone

Do you remember when we used to play
Simon says make love all day
How you would say the sweetest things
Even promised me a wedding ring

So long, my dear
It seems so long ago now, my dear
Yesterday has come and gone so fast now, my friend
It's a new day and our touch has come to crazy end, my friend

You rubbed my chin so nice and slow
Remember how we thought we'd grow
Tall as palm trees up in the sky
Deep as questions, wonder why

So long, my dear
It seems so long ago now, my dear
Yesterday has come and gone so fast now, my friend
It's a new day and our touch has come to crazy end, my friend

Simon's gone, will he return
Bring magic we thought we earned
Just like that time's gone away
Think of you, mostly by day

Close my eyes at night to rest
I'm a bird, caught in her nest
Afraid now to fly away
How to leave if there you stay

So long now, my dear
It seems so long ago now, my dear
Come and gone now so fast, my friend
Come to crazy end, my friend
