i gave up everything i love i liked what things i possessed i knew it was wrong you said you were straight and i did it for you babe and now i see you leave right out of my life my heart cries out i gave you love and my devotion and i gave you my soul well my love love love he s gone with the wind is my love like a bird in the sky he s gone with the wind is my love i thought he could weather the storms of life stand by me through the pains and strife but at the first sign of a breeze he freezed he fled with the wind now who can i lean on when all my friends and folks have gone but i know that they really want to love and to comfort me but who can take away a pain of love a pain that starts a tear to swell deep in my heart and i burst into tears well my love love love he s gone with the wind is my love like a petal on a rose he s gone with the wind is my love i thought he could weather the storms of life stand by me through the pains and strife but at the first sign of a breeze he freezed he fled with the wind each night i hope and pray for his return my heart still burns when all i knew was a love so good and i break down and cry well my love love love he s gone with the wind is my love like a sail on a mast he s gone with the wind is my love my baby he s gone he s gone with the wind a part of my life he s out of sight my baby he s gone
