The One You Loved Is Gone
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.
And I wonder even now
Whatever came of you
And I wonder even now
Where you are
Even though I'm much too proud
To ever say it
Your ghost still comes around
To haunt my heart
If only time
Could somehow turn the page
If only I
Hadn't walked away
I'm a desperate man
Who longs to stop the aching
I'm a desperate man
Who longs to find someone
Who can show me
There is joy left for the taking
Who can show me
There's a song left to be sung
If only time
Could somehow turn the page
If only I
Hadn't walked away
The lonely embrace of days gone by
So better the taste where love survives
But the one you loved is gone
Now I know, now I know
We can't replace what we let go
And still I hope, still I hope
That time will ease the pain
Of losing something that was pure
And beautiful
And I wonder even now
Whatever came of you
And I wonder even now
Where you are
The lonely embrace of days gone by
So better the taste where love survives
But the one you loved is gone
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
If only time could turn the page
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
And take me back to yesterday
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, but things would always change
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh
