When Your Lover Has Gone

For ages and ages The poets and sages Of love, wond'rous love always sing But ask any lover And you'll soon discover The heartaches that romance can bring When you're alone Who cares for starlit skies? When you're alone The magic moonlight dies At break of dawn There is no sunrise When your lover has gone What, what lonely hours The evening shadows bring What lonely hours With mem'ries lingering Like faded flow'rs Life can't mean anything When your lover has gone
