Been Here and Gone

Samantha Jean was a beautiful girl
And we spent some time together
On top of the world
But when it came time
To buy that diamond ring
I lost my nerve
And she slipped away

Well I've seen love come
And I've seen it go
They say when you meet the right one
You're supposed to know
Could my chance be gone I wonder
As time goes on
Maybe she's already been here and gone

Samantha Jean likes to dance
Maybe she's here in the club tonight by chance
Then I could say
How wrong I was that day
She'd come back to me and we'd run away

Well I've seen love come
And I've seen it go
They say when you meet the right one
You're supposed to know
Well our dance is surely done
But the music still plays on
Maybe she's already been here and gone

I could have loved her forever
Well forever has
Been here and gone, gone, gone

Samantha Jean caught my eye
Walking by the park as I was driving by
She's pushing a baby carriage
With a little girl by her side
Makes me wonder how I let slip her away

Well I've seen love come
And I've seen it go
They say when you meet the right one
You're supposed to know
Well she's long long gone
And it's time to get movin' on
She's already been here and gone
She's already been here and gone
She's already been here and gone gone gone
She's already been here and gone
