Katies been gone since the spring time
She wrote one time and sent her love
Katies been gone for such a long time now
I wonder what kind of love shes thinkin of
Dear Katie, if you can hear me
I cant wait to have you near me
Dear Katie, since you caught that bus
Well, I dont know how things are with us
Im still here and youre out there
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely
She said, Theres no need to feel that way
Katie said that I was her only one
But then I wonder why she didnt wanna stay
Dear Katie, if Im the only one
How much longer will you be gone?
Oh, Katie, wont you tell me straight
How much longer do I have to wait?
Ill believe you but please come through
I know its wrong to be apart this long
You should be here, near me
Katies been gone
And now her face is slowly fading from my mind
Shes gone to find some newer places
Left the old life far behind
Dear Katie, dont you miss your home?
I dont see why you had to roam
Dear Katie, since youve been away
I lose a little something every day
I need you here but youre still out there
Dear Katie, please drop me a line
Just write, love, to tell me youre fine
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me
I just cant wait to have you near me
I can only think, where are you, what you do
May be theres someone new
