Long Distance Love

I tried a river of ink and a mountain of paper But that couldn't save my long distance love I met an old friend from home and he promised to tell her To tell her i crave my long distance love I know that when he met her she was lonesome as could be So he plied her with compliments and sweet sympathy She gave away her fickle heart to the friend i'm speaking of Now he's a short distance from my long distance love I called her last night but she wasn't at home What's become of the queen bee in my honeycomb If you let your sweetheart get lonesome and blue Your gettin her ready for somebody new Musical interlude I tried a river of ink and a mountain of paper But that couldn't save my long distance love She gave away her fickle heart to the friend i'm speaking of now Now he's a short distance from My long distance love
