How Long Will My Baby Be Gone
Eternal Longing: How Absence Defines Heartache
Lyrics
How long is forever
Wondering about the duration of forever
How soon is now or never
Contemplating the timing of "now or never"
How long will these heartaches linger on
Questioning how long emotional pain will persist
And how long will my baby be gone
Expressing concern about the duration of the lover's absence
How wide is an ocean
Asking about the vastness of an ocean metaphorically
How deep is a devotion
Inquiring about the depth of commitment or love
How long do these sleepless nights go on
Questioning the duration of sleepless nights due to heartache
And how long will my baby be gone
Expressing worry about how long the lover will be away
For I could never understand
Expressing confusion and inability to understand the lover's actions
How she could turn to another man
Reflecting on the lover's decision to be with someone else
How much does a heart ache
Posing a question about the intensity of heartache
How deep is a heartbreak
Questioning the depth of pain caused by heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
Asking about the duration of sleepless nights due to heartache (repeated)
And how long will my baby be gone
Expressing concern about the duration of the lover's absence (repeated)
For I could never understand
Reiterating confusion and inability to understand the lover's actions (repeated)
How she could turn to another man
Repeating reflection on the lover's decision to be with someone else (repeated)
How much does a heart ache
Posing a question about the intensity of heartache (repeated)
How deep is a heartbreak
Repeating the question about the depth of pain caused by heartbreak (repeated)
How long do these sleepless nights go on
Reiterating the duration of sleepless nights due to heartache (repeated)
And how long will my baby
Posing the question about the lover's duration of absence (repeated)
How long will my baby be gone
Expressing concern about how long the lover will be gone (repeated)
