Lyrics

Distant lover,
Lover
(Lover, Lover, Lover)
Oooo

So many miles away,
Oooo
Heaven knows that I long for you
every night,
every night
and sometimes
through the day

Distant Lover
(Lover, Lover, Lover)
Oooo
Lover

You should think about me, and
Say a prayer for me

Please, Please
Think about me sometime

Think about me here
here in misery

misery
(Baby)

As I reminisce
through our joyful summer together
(Oh oh Baby)
The promises we made
on a daily letter

Then all of a sudden
everything seems to explode
now I gaze out my window
Sugar, Down lonesome road

Distant Lover
(Lover, Lover, Lover)

Oooo
Sugar, how can you treat my heart so mean
Didn’t you know, sugar
that every moment
that I spent with you
I treasured it
like it was a precious jewel
Oh Baby

Lord have mercy
Ooo

(Music)

Oh baby
“Don’t go”

Please
“Come back baby”

Ooo

There’s something I want to say
When you left you took all of me with you
Now Lord I wonder
Do you want me scream, pleading
Please, Please Baby
Come Back Home……
Oh Baby
