So Long 2011 Lyrics & Chords By John Watts

When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone.
I dialled your number but no one answered your phone.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were.
They said that they thought they were ill.

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else's car,
And drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.

I've tried to forget you, but I found myself walking the streets.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
I've sent you telegrams, but you haven't answered one.
Your mother told me, I best leave you all alone.
I hope you're satisfied now you've done this thing to me.
I hope you're pleased with what you've done.

Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.

For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were.
For so long, I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long, I hope you're satisfied, you won't hear from me again.
For so long, I hope you're pleased with what you've done.
Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.
