[Verse 1: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Guess all along I knew it
Nothing mattered, everything was all right
When you saw to it
Before I knew it, you were
Gone, long gone
Ooh ooh
[Verse 2: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
You said you would always be there
Well, I believed you
I was a fool to need you
Gave my love, then I gave you my heart
And then you flew it
Before I knew it
You were
Gone, long gone
[Chorus: All, Peter Cetera]
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
[Interlude: All]
Ahh ah ah ah ah...
Ahh ah ah ah ah...
Ahh ah ah ah ah...
Ahh ah ah ah ah...
[Chorus: All, Peter Cetera]
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
Hard facing another day
Just crying the night away
Said more than I meant to say
When I knew that you were gone
[Interlude: All]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it
Yes, all along I knew it
Didn't matter and it didn't seem right
And then you flew it
Before I knew it you were
Gone, long gone
Gone, long gone
You were
Gone, long gone
