Gone Baby, Don't Be Long (feat. Ebban Dorsey) - José James

I dug a single seed into the ground I hope it grows, grows In a year or two if you're around you'll see a rose, rose Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere that you can find me On this train to Paris going nowhere Draw the bridge behind me Don't be gone too long (too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (too long) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone (Ooh, yeah, ooh) When you're, when you're gone (Ooh, yeah, ooh) When you're gone Golden leaves are dancing on the ground It's getting cold, cold Safe from time, we'll be forever young Never old, old See a ball of fire out in space Zooming up behind me All the wonder written on your face Was there inside me Don't be gone too long (too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (too long) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone (Ohh) When you're, when you're gone (Ohhh) When you're gone Bring it back to me, bring it back to me Is it really over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me Is it over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me (yeah) Is it really over? Bring it back to me, bring it back to me (Hooo) Don't be gone too long (is it really over) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (is it really over) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone Don't be gone too long (don't be gone too long) 'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone (when it's over) Don't be gone too long (is it really over) Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone

How long is forever? How soon is now or never? How long will these heartaches linger on? And how long will my baby, be gone? How wide is the notion? How deep is the devotion? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby, be gone? For I could never understand How she could turn to another man How much does a heartache? How deep is a heartbreak? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby, be gone? For I could never understand How she could turn to another man How much does a heartache? How deep is a heartbreak? How long do these sleepless nights go on? And how long will my baby How long will my baby, be gone?

Didn't know how many sweaters and hoodies I had 'Til I packed 'em in a box Mama tried to hide the tears in her eyes As I threw 'em in the back of the truck As she hugged me tight, I knew I'd have to be the first to let go 'Fore I drove away, I heard her say, "be safe and, baby, don't Stay gone too long Don't forget to call Hope you think of me when you catch all your dreams Without you, this house ain't a home Don't stay gone too long No, don't stay gone too long" Not even twenty-one, I wasn't lookin' for love No, you weren't a part of my plan My only home was that wide-open road Until I held your hand It's late nights on the phone Two different time zones It's goodbyes and southbound planes But I love you enough to wait Don't stay gone too long Don't forget to call Hope you think of me when you catch all your dreams Without you, this house ain't a home Don't stay gone too long 2 a.m. when I got the call Mama said, "we don't got much time" So I flew home did what no one wants to And told Grandma goodbye As she hugged me tight, I knew she'd have to be the first to let go Before it was time, she closed her eyes, I said, please, don't Stay gone too long Wish Heaven had a phone I'll see you in my dreams when you watch over me Without you, this place ain't a home Don't stay gone too long Don't stay gone too long
