Lyrics

I got a letter in the mail today
From my girl so far away
If she were here to her I'd say
I'm gonna love you every day

Yes it has been quite some time
But I can't get her off my mind
And though we're so far apart
I love her with all my heart

She's my long away lover
I couldn't look for another
Oh yeah, I love her so

Well it's been about a year or more
Since my baby walked out that door
And though we both had some fears
We managed to hold back the tears

She's my long away lover
I couldn't look for another
Oh yeah, I need her so

It won't be long till she'll be back home
Then I won't feel so all alone
I don't need any other
Cause I've got my long away lover

Yeah, she's my long away lover
I don't want no other
