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 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."
