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 when love is gone when love is gone
