When Your Lover Has Gone

What good is the scheming,

The planning, the dreaming

That comes with each new love affair?

The love that you cherish

So often may perish

And leave you with castles in air

When you're alone

Who cares for starlit skies

When your alone

The magic moonlight dies

At break of dawn

There is no sunrise

When your lover has gone

What lonely hours

The evening shadows bring

What lonely hours

Like memories lingering

Like faded flowers,

Life can't mean anything

When your lover has gone

For ages and ages

The poets and sages

Of love wonderous love always sing

But ask any lover and you'll soon discover

The heartache that romance can bring

What lonely hours

The evening shadows bring

What lonely hours

Like memories lingering

Like faded flowers,

Life can't mean anything

When your lover has gone
