I stayed away so long Jo
Don t think that I could come back
You re doin so well without me girl
You d laugh if you d know d where I m at
You knew me when it was all my world
Somehow it s all passed me by
But don t let on to my friends Jo dear
That things ain t turned out as planned
You bore my child then I left you aside
I don t expect you to forgive
But Jo I can say in a funny old way
I was sure that I had it made
I still possess a photograph
My memory to refresh
But fade it may Jo I can say
I was sure that I had it made
You bore my child then I left you aside
I don t expect you to forgive
But now I m not so young and I m so afraid
To sleep alone for the rest of my days
