THE IMPRESSIONS
"Gone Away"
(Donny Hathaway, Mayfield)

I try to reason
I tell myself you'll return
But you're gone (gone)
I know you're gone (gone)

You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you child
I didn't intend it

And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes
That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away
(Gone away)

Forgive and forget it
That's not what I'll ask you to do
Though I want you back (back)
Chile I want you back (back)

And in concluding my mental discretion
I find I've lost my only, prize possession

And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes
That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away (gone away)
Gone away

And in concluding my mental discretion
I find I've lost my only prize possession

And you're gone away
I keep telling my mind
That you're not gone to stay
And yet I think sometimes

That I've lost you
Yes I've lost you
And you're gone away
Gone away
Oh you're gone away, can't believe it
But now you gone away
