Lyr. Add: WHEN YOUR LOVER HAS GONE
Einar A. Swan, 1931

From ages to ages the poets and sages
Of love, glorious love, always sing
But ask any lover and you'll soon discover
The heartache that romance can bring.


What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair?
The love that you cherish so often might perish
And leave you with castles in air.

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone.

What lovely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone.

What lonely hours the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone.

When your lover has gone.
When your lover has gone.

Featured in the film "Blonde Crazy," with James Cagney. 1931.
Recorded by Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong, both in 1931, and Frank Sinatra, 1945.

Lyr. Add: WHEN LOVE HAS GONE
Lyrics C. W. Remington. MUSIC BY Cathy Lane

When love has gone,
Love has gone...
The stars forget to glow;
And laughter turns to sadder songs
Than we were meant to know.

When love has gone,
All is gone...
The skies cry bitter rain
For all the lovers who have kissed
And will not kiss again.

When love has gone,
Life has gone...
The world's a spinning stone
That's lost in space, and we must face
Our journey all alone...
Our journey all alone.
