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

Dear Katie
If you can hear me
I can't wait to have you near me
Dear Katie
Since you caught that bus
Well, I don't know how things are with us
I'm still here and you're out there

Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
She said, "There's no need to 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 you tell me straight
How much longer do I have to wait?

I'll 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 you miss your home?
I dont 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' to 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 you do
Maybe there's someone new
