Text: Trisha Yearwood. Where Your Road Leads. There Goes My Baby.

He was the kind of guy who loved so unselfishly
And everyone could see what a prize he was, everyone but me
I must be blind, I must be the kind who don't know what they have
'Til they're all alone and sad

There goes my baby, like the sun falling out of the clear, blue sky
There goes my baby and it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see, how I need him to be, right here by my side
There goes my baby, bye, bye, baby, goodbye

How could I have a love so fine and not know what it's worth
Maybe this empty heart he left behind is all that I deserve
What kind of fool finds a perfect jewel and can't see how it shines
'Til she's all alone and cryin'

There goes my baby, like the sun falling out of the clear, blue sky
There goes my baby and it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see, how I need him to be, right here by my side
There goes my baby, bye, bye, baby, goodbye

How I wish I could hold him in my arms and say
This time I'm gonna treat him right, but it's too late

There goes my baby, like the sun falling out of the clear, blue sky
There goes my baby and it's gonna be a cold, hard night
Now that I finally see, how I need him to be, right here by my side
There goes my baby, bye, bye, baby, goodbye
Bye, bye, baby, goodbye, bye, bye, baby, goodbye
