You're here today and gone tomorrow Our love would always be a hidden love affair I know you love me but I'm just a wanderer Today I love you but tomorrow I may not care For absence ever makes the hearts grow fonder Oh I get lonesome for someone's company You're here today and gone tomorrow And my loving you is just a fantasy [ steel - guitar ] When you're gone I wish we'd never met For the memory remains within my heart You're here today and gone tomorrow We can't be happy so I think it's best we part For absence ever makes the hearts grow fonder...
