[Verse 1]
I try to reason, and I tell myself you'll return
But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
[Chorus]
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby, and you are gone
[Verse 2]
Forgive and forget it, that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, you know, you know I want you back
And in concluding my mental displeasure
I found I've lost my prize possession
[Chorus]
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes that I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby, and you are gone
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la
Hey, hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la
[Outro]
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep telling my mind
You're not gonna stay
Yet I believe sometimes I've lost you, baby
I've lost you, baby, and you are gone
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

What did Roberta Flack say about "Gone Away"?
I went to [Donny Hathaway]’s home in Chicago, Illinois, and he had written a song for Carla Thomas, but for some reason, Carla didn’t like the song, Donny said. He played it for me, and I said, “That’s beautiful, I want to do it.” And the song was called “Gone Away.”
