When Your Lover Has Gone

What good is the scheming, the planning, the dreaming That comes with each new love affair The love that you cherish so often may 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 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 Like faded flowers Life can't mean anything When your lover has gone --- When Your Lover Has Gone - Linda Ronstadt
