After The Love Is Gone

For a while, to love was all we could do We were young and we knew, and our eyes were alive Deep inside we knew our love was true For a while we paid no mind to the past We knew love would last Every night somethin' right Would invite us to begin the dance Somethin' happened along the way What used to be happy was sad Somethin' happened along the way And yesterday was all we had Oh, after the love has gone How could you lead me one And not let me stay around? Oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found? For a while to love each other With all we would ever need Love was strong for so long Never knew that what was wrong Baby, wasn't right We tried to find what we had Til sadness was all we shared We were scared this affair Would lead our love into Somethin' happened along the way Yesterday was all we had Somethin' happened along the way What used to be happy is sad Somethin' happened along the way What used to be was all we had Oh, after the love has gone How could you lead me on And not let me stay around? Oh, oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found? Oh, oh, after the love has gone What used to be right is wrong Can love that's lost be found Oh, oh, after the love has gone --- After the Love Is Gone - Norman Brown
