SO LONG

When I read your letter
I couldn’t believe that you’ve gone.
I dialled your number
but no one answered the phone.
I asked your friends
to tell me if they knew where you were.
They said that they thought that you were ill.

I hired a detective to try
and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you,
he said you were living in France.
A watchman saw you climb
into someone else’s car,
and drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn’t you tell me ?
Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.
Not waited for so long.

I’ve tried to forget you,
but I found myself walking the streets.
I went to the doctor
and he gave me something to sleep.
I’ve sent you telegrams,
but you haven’t answered one.
Your mother told me,
I best leave you all alone.
I hope you’re satisfied
now you’ve done this thing to me.
I hope you’re pleased
with what you’ve done.

Why didn’t you tell me ?
Not leave me this way!
You could have told me.
Not waited for so long.

For so long,
I never realized just exactly who you were.
For so long,
I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long,
I hope you’re satisfied,
you won’t hear from me again.
For so long,
I hope you’re pleased
with what you’ve done.

Why didn’t you tell me ?
Not leave me this way!
You could have told me
.Not waited for so long.
