[00:12.35] I was going on twelve, she was just nine
[00:15.36] Passing round her little valentines
[00:18.84] With the devil dancin’ there in her eyes
[00:21.93] Teasin’ someday she would be my bride
[00:26.31] I said, “You’re just a little girl, now go on”
[00:31.96] And as soon as I turned around, there she was . . . gone
[00:37.94] There she was, gone. I started thinkin’ bout her night and day
[00:44.84] I started singing a young love song. There she was, gone
[00:51.06] Out of school now, and she’s my girl
[00:56.97] But a restless soul needs to see the world
[01:00.32] I search for a promise in those dancing eyes
[01:03.45] Would she settle down by my side
[01:08.10] She whispers in my ear, “Babe, you can’t hold on.”
[01:13.76] So I opened up my arms, and there she was . . . gone.
[01:19.52] There she was, gone. I thought about her night and day
[01:26.27] I was singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone
[01:36.06] Now we’re Mom and Dad, with a girl of our own
[01:38.68] Growing like a weed in this happy home
[01:41.84] She’s got that devil in her mama’s blue eyes
[01:44.89] But no one realizes how time flies
[01:49.34] Until the house is still, no more little girl’s songs
[01:55.08] One day we turned around, and there she was . . . gone
[02:01.10] I’m an old man now, she’s still my girl
[02:16.99] Spends her days in a long gone world
[02:20.42] There’s a darker devil hiding in her eyes
[02:23.43] Telling her, she’s someone else’s wife
[02:27.89] She looks at me and says, “Mister, what’s wrong?”
[02:33.83] And right before my eyes, there she is . . . gone
[02:39.78] There she was, gone. I was searching for her every day
[02:46.51] I was singing a worried man song. There she was, gone
[02:52.03] There she was, gone. I’ll be thinking ’bout her all my days
[02:58.62] I’ll be singing a lonesome song. There she was, gone
[03:05.03]
[00:12.35] I was going on twelve, she was just nine
[00:15.36] Passing round her little valentines
[00:18.84] With the devil dancin' there in her eyes
[00:21.93] Teasin' someday she would be my bride
[00:26.31] I said, " You' re just a little girl, now go on"
[00:31.96] And as soon as I turned around, there she was . . . gone
[00:37.94] There she was, gone. I started thinkin' bout her night and day
