[Verse 1]
I dug a single seed into the ground
I hope it grows, grows
In a year or two if you're around
You'll see a rose, rose

[Verse 2]
Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere
That you can find me
On this train to Paris going nowhere
Draw the bridge behind me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long
'Cause you won't be there to love me
When you're gone
Don't be gone too long
'Cause tell me who's gonna love me
When you're gone
Oh yeah, when you're, when you're gone
Oh yeah, yeah, when you're gone

[Verse 3]
Golden leaves are dancing on the ground
It's getting cold, cold
Safe from time, we'll be forever young
Never old, old

[Verse 4]
See upon a ball of fire out in space
Zooming up behind me
All the wondering on your face
Was there inside me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long
'Cause you won't be there to love me
When you're gone
Don't be gone too long
Tell me who's gonna love me
When you're gone
Oh, oh, when you're, when you're gone
Oh, oh, when you're gone

[Bridge]
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
(Bring it back to me)
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me
Is it really over?
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me

[Chorus]
Don't be gone too long
'Cause you won't be there to love me
When you're gone
Don't be gone too long
Tell me who's gonna love me
When you're gone

Don't be gone too long
(Don't be gone too long)
'Cause you won't be there to love me
When you're gone
(When you're gone)
Don't be gone too long (when you're gone)
'Cause tell me who's gonna love me
When you're gone

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
