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)
