Where Has Love Gone



Where Has Love Gone

You woke one morning feeling like an unhappy song,
 So empty and sad, where has love gone ?

 With an ache in your heart and thoughts of the past,
 Where has love gone, why didn't it last ?

 A moment ago you were so happy and then, it's hard to
 Figure out, when did it end

 You try to recapture a moment of bliss, why did it have
 To happen like this. Where has love gone; when did it leave;
 Why am I so unhappy and why do I still grieve ?
 Like the end of a season it came to past; what was the reason,

 Why didn't it last ? The change came so gradually, why couldn't
 I foresee this tragedy

 I stand at the window, gazing at the sun, wondering what it was
 I could have done. I try to recapture happiness long past;
 Where has love gone, why didn't it last ?

 The contentment and peace of that day on the beach, but a lost
 Love I cannot reach. If I could have foreseen it would come to

 This, I would have protected my moment of bliss,
 As seasons come and go, the season for love will come again I
 know. And when it does, I will relive this love and hold it fast
 My lost love will come again and I know it will last.
