The love is gone that used to be here
A friend is gone who used to be near
It's clear the future isn't too clear
When you lose what you love
A star is just a light in the sky
And hope, a word that doesn't apply
And life a thing that just passed you by
When you lose what you love

While time can be a mellowing thing
You know too well the gain il can bring
You speak the lovesong you used to sing
Cause the melody's guess how you'il do
Get over it or let it get you
It's all that you can do to get through
When you lose what you love

Love like the sun
Seems that it can't be depended upon
Love like the sun
One day is here and the next day is gone
There's really nothing more left so lose
When you lose what you love

Traces of you everywhere
They appear and surround me, surround me
All that was lovely is here
To remind me again
What we had then

A love is gone that used to be here
A friend is gone who used to be near
It's clear the future isn't too clear
When you lose what you love
When you lose what you love
