Distant Lover

Distant lover, lover

So many miles away

Heaven knows that I long for you

Every night, every night

And sometimes I yearn

Through the day

Distant lover

You should think about me

And say a prayer for me

Please, please baby

Think about me sometimes

Think about me here

Here in misery, misery

As I reminisce, oh baby

Through our joyful summer together

The promises we made

All the daily letters

Then, all of a sudden

Everything seemed to explode

Now, I gaze out my window

Sugar, down a lonesome road

Distant lover

Sugar, how can you treat my heart

So mean and cruel?

Sugar, sugar

That every moment when I spent with you

I treasure it like it was

A precious jewel, oh baby

Lord have mercy

Oh baby, don't go

Please, come back baby

Somethin' I wanna say

When you left you took all of me with you

My Lord I wonder

Do you wanna hear me scream, plead

And please, please, oh please baby

Come back and hold me, girl

Baby please, please
