I see nothing to be gained by explanations   No need to try to say who's right or who was wrong   No need to enter into lengthy dissertations   To make a long story short, she's gone      I won't attempt to explain the things that happened   To put in words why she's not here would take too long   And it's all too far beyond the realm of understanding   To make a long story short, she's gone      The way you look at me, you don't believe, she loved me   But she once loved me with a love so sweet and strong   I won't try to give the reasons why I miss her so   To make a long story short, she's gone   To make a long story short, she's gone
