Linda Ronstadt
"When Your Lover Has Gone" lyrics

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 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

Like faded flowers
Life can't mean anything
When your lover
Has gone
