For a while I sat there staring at her photograph For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene There was a time when we were young I used to make her laugh But life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me Lately I can't seem to find myself no sleep at all Lately I just lie awake and hear and dream Of the time when she was mine Felt like I had it all But life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me Yesterday is gone Yesterday is dead Get it through your head and walk away Yesterday is gone Ain't no use hanging on to her memory It only causes you pain For a while I sat there staring at her photograph For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene There was a time when we were young I used to make her laugh But life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me Life is long my love has gone away from me
