Gone Daddy Gone Lyrics

Beautiful girl love ya dress
High school smiles oh yes
Beautiful girl love ya dress
Where she is now I can only guess

'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
It's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone away

When I see you
Eyes will turn blue
When I see you
A thousand eyes turning blue

'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
It's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone away

An I can tell by the way that ya
Switch your walk
An I can see by the way
That ya, baby talk
An I can know by the way that ya
Treat your man
I can love ya baby 'til it's a crying

'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
It's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone away

(Gone daddy gone)
Beautiful girl love ya dress
(Gone daddy gone)
Fifteen smiles oh yes
(Gone daddy gone)
Beautiful girl love ya dress
(Gone daddy gone)
Where she is now I can only guess

'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
It's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Yeah it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Gone away
