Katie´s been gone since the spring time
She wrote one time´n sent her love
Katie´s been gone for such a long time now
I wonder what kind of love she´s thinkin´ of

Dear Katie, If you can hear me
I can´t wait to have ya near me
Dear Katie, since ya caught that bus
Well, I just don´t know how things are with us
I´m still here and you´re out there (somewhere)

Katie laughed when I said I was lonely
She said, there´s no need t´feel that way
Katie said that I was her only one
But then I wonder why she didn´t wanna stay

Dear Katie, if I´m the only one
How much longer will you be gone?
Oh, Katie, won´t ya tell me straight
How much longer do I have to wait?
I believe you, but please come through

I know it´s wrong to be apart this long
You should be here near me

Katie´s been gone and now her face is
Slowly fading from my mind
She´s gone to find some newer places
And left the old life far behind

Dear katie, don´t ya miss your home?
I don´t see why you had to roam
Dear katie, since you´ve been away
I lose a little something every day
I need you here, but you´re still out there

Dear Katie, please drop me a line
Just write, love, tell me you´re fine
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me
I just can´t wait to have you near me
I can only think
Where are you, what ya do
Maybe there´s someone new
