My Missing Baby

My baby's gonna leave me.
I lie awake at night.
Will she be alright?

My baby's gonna leave me.
No longer to see.
Will she miss me?

My baby's gonna leave me.
Tears are in my eyes.
Ain't no surprise.

My baby's gonna leave me.
I wish her no strife.
Light of my life.

Yes John. We four lose each other for a while, but we are strong again. All three will be home this weekend and again at Christmas time. They are MY PRECIOUS GIRLS.

Thank you Kim. I have adjusted now, but last winter was hard to get through without her. She is home each weekend to work in a local restaurant, so I am still blessed with her company.
