Linda Ronstadt 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
