(Jim Ed Brown - Maxine Brown - Wally Fowler)

Here today and gone tomorrow
Our love would always be a hit-and-run affair
I know you love me but I'm just a wanderer
Today I love you but tomorrow I may not care.

For absence never makes the hearts grow fonder
I get lonesome for someone's company
Here today and gone tomorrow
And my loving you is just a fantasy.

--- Instrumental ---

When you're gone I wish we'd never met
For the memory remains within my heart
Here today and gone tomorrow
We can't be happy so I think it's best we part.

For absence never makes the hearts grow fonder
I get lonesome for someone's company
Here today and gone tomorrow
And my loving you is just a fantasy...
