How Long Will My Baby Be Gone [Take 5A] [Alternate Take] Lyrics

How long is forever
How soon is now or never
How long will these heartaches linger on
And how long will my baby be gone

How wide is an ocean
How deep is a devotion
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby be gone

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby be gone

For I could never understand
How she could turn to another man

How much does a heart ache
How deep is a heartbreak
How long do these sleepless nights go on
And how long will my baby
How long will my baby be gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
