On my way to the senior prom
Saw a crowd all gathered round
Stopped the car and got out to see
Just what it could be

There lying near the crowd
Was a girl dressed in a gown
Walked up so I could see
Just who she could be

Knelt down by her side
Tears came into my eyes
There lies the one I love
The one I'll always love

Then she said, "Take this ring of mine
You're my love divine."
And as our lips met
I know I can't forget
The way my heart cried
The way it hurt inside
She's gone so far away
My lonely heart must pay
She's gone
Gone...she's gone
There lies the one I love
The one I'll always love
Was to pick her up at eight
Lord above
Why was I late
The love she gave to me
Will always stay with me
'til the day we meet
Until we meet in eternity

Then my heart begins to cry
It hurts so deep inside
Now she's gone so far away
My lonely heart must pay
She's gone
Gone...she's gone
