Lyrics

When Your Lover Has Gone

What good is the scheming

The planning and dreaming

That comes with each new love affair

The love that you cherish

So often might perish

And leave you with castles in air

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 lonely hours

The evening shadows bring

What lonely hours

With memories lingering

Like faded flowers

Life can't mean anything

When your lover has gone

When your lover's gone

When your lover has gone
