Long Long Gone Songtext
von The Everly Brothers

When life leaves you high and dry
I′ll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I′ll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.

When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I′ll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.

Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me.


And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I′m not moving on
I'll love you long after you′re gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I'll love you long after you′re gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

When you fall like a statue
I′m gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?

I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.

So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I′m not moving on,
I′ll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I′ll love you long after you're gone
And long after you′re gone, gone, gone.


You're my back bone.
You′re my cornerstone.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.
You're my head start.
You′re my rugged heart.
You′re the pulse that I've always needed.
Like a drum, baby, don′t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don′t stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating...

For you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on.
I′ll love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I'll love you long after you′re gone.
For you, for you.
Baby, I′m not moving on,
I'll love you long after you′re gone.
For you, for you.
You will never sleep alone.
I'll love you long, long after you′re gone.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don′t stop beating.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
I′ll love you long after you′re gone, gone, gone
