Lyrics Del Shannon – The Prom

On my way to the senior prom
Saw a crowd all gathered ’round
Stopped the car and got out to see
Just what it could be

There lying near the crowd
Was a girl dressed in a gown
Walked up so I could see
Just who it could be

Knelt down by her side
Tears came into my eyes
There lie the one I love
The one I’d always love

Then she said, «Take this ring of mine
You are my love divine.»
And as our lips met
I know I can’t forget
The way my heart cried
The way it hurt inside
She’s gone so far away
My lonely heart must pay
She’s gone
Gone…she’s gone

There lies the, the one I love
The one I’ll, I’ll always love
If I’d have picked her up on time
Her precious love would still be mine
The love
The love she gave to me
Will always stay with me
‘Til the day we meet

Then my heart begins to cry
It hurts so deep inside
She’s gone so far away
My lonely heart must pay
She’s gone
Gone…she’s gone
