Sure Gonna Miss Her
Gary Lewis and the Playboys
Written by Bobby Russell

Peak chart position # 9 in 1966


I never did too much to make her stay here
And words of love to her I'd never say
I guess I learned a lesson when she walked out to stay
But I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her every day

I don't suppose I ever said "I love you"
And I found out too late that wasn't right
I'm just now realizin' what I lost, that's why I'm cryin'
And I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her every night

I know I took her love for granted
Guess you could say my love was blind
Thought if she left that I could stand it
Or else it didn't matter at the time

I heard she's found a guy that treats her better
I hope he knows that *he's a lucky guy*
I know the rumor's true because I saw her today
And I'm sure gonna miss her, he was walking with her, sure gonna miss her, yes I am

<instrumental to end>

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Logic would dictate that *he's a lucky guy* should be "he's a lucky
MAN" so as to rhyme, more or less, with the following "am." It may well have been written that
way, but, after 5 listens, I SWEAR he says "guy."
