There Goes My Baby

He was the kind of guy who loved so unselfishly

And everyone could see what a prize he was

Everyone but me

I must be blind

I must be the kind who don't know what they have

'Til they're all alone and sad

There goes my baby

Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky

There goes my baby

And it's gonna be a cold hard night

Now that I finally see

How I need him to be

Right here by my side

There goes my baby

Bye-bye baby, goodbye

How could I have a love so fine

And not know what it's worth?

Maybe this empty heart he left behind is all that I deserve

What kind of fool finds a perfect jewel and can't see how it shines?

'Til she's all alone and cryin'

There goes my baby

Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky

There goes my baby

And it's gonna be a cold hard night

Now that I finally see

How I need him to be

Right here by my side

There goes my baby

Bye-bye baby, goodbye

How I wish I could hold him in my arms and say

This time I'm gonna treat him right

But it's too late

There goes my baby

Like the sun fallin' out of the clear blue sky

There goes my baby

And it's gonna be a cold hard night

Now that I finally see

How I need him to be

Right here by my side

There goes my baby

Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Bye-bye baby, goodbye

Bye-bye baby, goodbye
