GONE FOR THE DAY
(Bob Cooper / Bob Russell)

as recorded by June Christy
with orchestra conducted by Pete Rugolo
1957


Gone for the day,
Closed up the candy store,
I'm on my way,
Away from it all!
I'll be gone where a stream
Knows what it's destined for,
Time for a dream
I want to recall!

I'm gone for the day,
Under a sycamore,
Clover to lay my noggin upon!
I'm one who can lay out,
Out where it's way out,
Gone 'fore the day is real gone!

Gone for the day,
Under a sycamore,
Clover to lay my noggin upon!
I'm one who can lay out,
Out where it's way out,
Gone for the day,
Gone for the day,
Gone 'fore the day is real gone!
