If You're Not Gone Too Long

If You're Not Gone Too Long - Loretta Lynn

Written by：Wanda Ballman

I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes

There ain't no use for me to cry

And there's some things I think I need to say

I'll think about you every day every day while you're away

I'll be true to you honey while you're gone

If you're not gone too long

But if you're gone for a year or two

It may be too long for me to be true

I might find somebody else because I get lone some by myself

I'll be the truest love you've known

And for a while I'll stay at home

I'll be true to you honey while you're gone

If you're not gone too long

Tomorrow you'll be gone I know

So love me now before you go

We don't know what's farther down the road

There may be a detour sign to upset plans of yours and mine

I'll be true to you honey while you're gone

If you're not gone too long

But if you're gone for a year or two

It may be too long for me to be true

I might find somebody else because I get lone some by myself

I'll be the truest love you've known

And for a while I'll stay at home

I'll be true to you honey while you're gone

If you're not gone too long

Oh yeah if you're not gone too long
