Gone Songtext
von Donna Hughes

A little old lady living alone
Her little old husband buried and gone
I′d go to see her and we'd have tea
I sang her my songs as we sat in the breeze
She liked checkers and learning new words
Sewing and reading and watching the birds
She showed me everything in her house
And gave me a tour when I came around

Dishes from England, antiques everywhere
An old piano, a rocking chair
She made me a napkin with her little hands
And showed me her golden wedding bands
One day I came to sing her a song
She wasn′t there, the house was bare
And everything was gone
Gone


She had died on a rainy day
Her family didn't know me
They didn't know that I loved her so
And they didn′t know to call me
They didn′t know what to do with her things
They didn't have room for things they didn′t need
So they had an auction and sold it all
And everything was gone
Gone

I never got to tell her goodbye
And I never got to thank her
A beautiful napkin and great advice
And I hope she knew that I loved her
I hope someday when I get old
I have a friend at the end of the road
And I hope somebody misses me
And remembers me when I'm gone
Gone
