Текст песни When Your Lover Has Gone - Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie Orchestra

When Your Lover Has Gone

For ages and ages
The poets and sages
Of love wond’rous love always sing
But ask any lover
And you’ll soon discover
The heartaches that romance can bring
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
With mem’ries lingering
Like faded flow’rs
Life can’t mean anything
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…
