How could you forget the taste of love
When I can still remember?
All the words we said are wasted
Now, it's just a dying ember
Every thought we shared together
Disappeared without a warning
As the book is closed forever,
So the truth is slowly dawning
There goes my love
There goes my life
In your arms, such sweet seclusion
Only fate knew it was leading
To a heart full of confusion
Was it just a false illusion?
Maybe even you believed it
Victim of my own creation
There you were and I conceived it
So much for imagination
There goes my love
There goes my life
Echoes of your voice surround me
Sympathetic smile's still taunting
Memories of you around me
Shadows of the parsed light haunting
Guilty of complete devotion
Sentenced to a life of longing
Prisoner of my own emotion
Wanting you but not belonging
There goes my love
There goes my life
(Petula Clark, Hubert Ballay, Tony Hatch, Jackie Trent) How could you forget the taste of love When I can still remember? All the words we said are wasted Now, it's just a dying ember Every thought we shared together Disappeared without a warning As the book is closed forever, So the truth is slowly dawning There goes my love There goes my life In your arms, such sweet seclusion Only fate knew it was leading To a heart full of confusion Was it just a false illusion? Maybe even you believed it Victim of my own creation There you were and I conceived it So much for imagination There goes my love There goes my life Echoes of your voice surround me Sympathetic smile's still taunting Memories of you around me Shadows of the parsed light haunting Guilty of complete devotion Sentenced to a life of longing Prisoner of my own emotion Wanting you but not belonging There goes my love There goes my life Explain Request ×
