Reconsider baby

So long - how I hate to see you go.
So long - how I hate to see you go.
And the way that I'm gonna miss you,
Darlin' you'll never know.

We've been together so long, to have to separate this way,
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way.
But you can go on and leave me baby,
Hope and pray you'll come back home someday.

You said you once, once had loved me,
Now I guess you've changed your mind.
You said you once, once had loved me,
Now I guess you've changed your mind.
Please reconsider baby,
And give yourself just a little more time.
