Distant Lover - Thelma Houston

Ooh, so many miles away

Heaven knows that I long for you

Every night, every night

And sometimes I yearn through the day

Distant lover (lover, lover)

You should think about me

Say a prayer for me

Please, please baby

Think about me sometimes

Think about me here

Here in misery

Misery

As I reminisce, ah 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, ooh sugar

How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel

Didn’t you know, sugar

That every moment that I spent with you

I treasured it

Like it was precious a jewel, oh baby

Lord, have mercy

Oh baby, don’t go

Please, come back, baby

Something I want to say

When you left you took all of me with you

My lord I wonder, do you want to hear me scream?

Please, please, please

Oh please baby

Come back home, little girl

Oh baby please, please
