When Your Lover Has Gone - Stacey Kent/Colin Oxley/David Newton/Jasper Kviberg/Jim Tomlinson/Simon Thorpe

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 your 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

For ages and ages

The poets and sages

Of love wonderous love always sing

But ask any lover

And you'll soon discover

The heartache that romance can bring

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
