Where Does the Love Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Did I hear you call my name out in the stillness of the night,
Did I feel your arms around me just before the morning light,
Or was it just a dream from long ago,
Back then before the storms that brought the silent snow.
Something's found its way between us and it's brought a change in you.
And I feel it like a wall and I can't find my way through
You turn from me whenever I draw near
And so I lie alone and wonder through the tears.
Chorus:
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love , will it ever come back someday?
Oh, you tell me that it's over, that you've got no more to say
But where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Well, we've been so long together how could we grow so far apart?
Oh, I never thought I'd ever feel such an aching in my heart.
And the anger, it just cuts me to the core
While all the loving words fall silent to the floor.
If I had a way within me, I would ease you of your pain.
And I'd take away your trouble. oh. and hold you once again.
Tomorrow seems so cold and far away
When all the dreams you have are built on yesterday.
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love , will it ever come back someday?
Oh, you tell me that it's over, that you've got no more to say
But where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love , will it ever come back someday?
Oh, you tell me that it's over, that you've got no more to say
But where does the love go when the love it goes away?
Where does the love go when the love it goes away?
