Analysis of 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.
