Distant lover  lover
So many miles away
Heaven knows that I long for you
Every night  every night
And sometimes I yearn
Through the day
Distant lover
You should think about me
And say a prayer for me
Please  please baby
Think about me sometimes
Think about me here
Here in misery  misery
As I reminisce  oh baby
Through our joyful summer together
The promises we made
All the daily letters
Then  all of a sudden
Everything seemed to explode
Now  I gaze out my window
Sugar  down a lonesome road
Distant lover
Sugar  how can you treat my heart
So mean and cruel
Sugar  sugar
That every moment when I spent with you
I treasure it like it was
A precious jewel  oh baby
Lord have mercy
Oh baby  don't go
Please  come back baby
Somethin' I wanna say
When you left you took all of me with you
My Lord I wonder
Do you wanna hear me scream  plead
And please  please  oh please baby
Come back and hold me  girl
Baby please  please
