Absence makes the heart grow fonder How I miss him when he wonders Now he's gone and I'm damn alone Sitting by the telephone To hear his sweet voice Out of sight, out of mind Let my ball and chain behind Wild women, wild times waiting for me Absence makes the heart grow fonder How I miss him when he wonders Count the days 'till he will return to me Boy can't you see? Out of sight, out of mind Got to have a swimming time Neon lights, girls, glory, waiting for me Absence makes the heart grow fonder How I miss him when he wonders My heart's lost and lonely He's my arm my one and only love He's the one I dream of Out of sight, out of mind Never know what I might find Lips and wine, waiting for me She's out of sight, out of mind (Absence makes the heart grow fonder)
