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

[chorus]
Cuz it's gone daddy gone 
Love is gone
Yeah, it's gone daddy gone
Love is gone
Yeah, it's gone daddy gone
Love is gone
Gone daddy gone 
the love is gone away

When I see you 
Eyes will turn blue
when I see you 
A thousand eyes turnin' blue

[repeat chorus]

Tell by the way that you switch your walk
I can see by the way that you baby talk
I can know by the way that you treat your man
I can love you baby 'til it's a crime

[repeat chorus]

Beautiful girl, lovely dress
15 smiles, oh yes
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
where she is now I can only guess

[repeat chorus]

gone away...
gone away....
gone away....
