When love is gone 
What good is candlelight 
Each lonely day 
Becomes a sleepless night 
No one is there to share the rising dawn 
And so it fades away when love is gone 

When love is gone 
Life's just a hollow shell 
The stars don't shine 
The moon has lost its spell 
That old familiar ache 
that makes the night so long 
just seems to linger on when love is gone 

When love is gone 
There's just the memories 
An empty heart where love once used to be 
Those lonely blues refuse to let you carry on 
It's just that way each day when love is gone
