When Your Lover Has Gone

When Your Lover Has Gone - Carmen McRae

For ages and ages the poets and sages

Of love wondrous 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 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

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring

What lonely hours with memories lingering

Like faded flowers life can't mean anything

When your lover

When your lover and lover has gone
