Lyrics
[Intro Harmonica]
[Solo - Guitar wails, bends, and cries]
[Verse 1]
The sun’s settin' low and the shadows grow long,
I’m sittin' here strummin' this old, lonesome song.
Your sweet voice used to fill up these empty rooms,
Now it’s just me and the echoes of our old tunes.
[Chorus]
Oh, my baby is gone, and the pain’s settin' in,
All the dreams we built are now left in the wind.
I’m drownin' in sorrow where the heartache belongs,
Oh, my baby is gone, and I’m singin' this song.
[Break]
[Verse 2]
I still see your smile in the morning light,
But it fades away as the day turns to night.
The bed feels so cold where we used to lay,
Now it's just memories that slowly decay.
[Chorus]
Oh, my baby is gone, and the pain’s settin' in,
All the dreams we built are now left in the wind.
I’m drownin' in sorrow where the heartache belongs,
Oh, my baby is gone, and I’m singin' this song.
[Solo - Guitar wails, bends, and cries]
[Bridge]
Every street we walked, every place we knew,
Now they whisper your name like they’re missin’ you too.
The stars don’t shine like they used to do,
‘Cause the light left with the love I had for you.
[Verse 3]
I pour another drink, try to chase the past,
But the shadows of your love are too strong to outlast.
I’m left with the silence that’s cold and deep,
Oh, my baby is gone, and I can’t even sleep.
[Chorus]
Oh, my baby is gone, and the pain’s settin' in,
All the dreams we built are now left in the wind.
I’m drownin' in sorrow where the heartache belongs,
Oh, my baby is gone, and I’m singin' this song.
[Outro]
So I’ll keep on singin’ through the dark and the rain,
With the ghost of your love and the weight of the pain.
Oh, my baby is gone, and the nights are so long,
But I’ll keep on singin' this lonesome song.
