Lyrics When Your Lover Has Gone - Digitally Remastered - Carmen McRae

For ages and ages, the poets and sages of love
Wondrous 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
What lonely hours with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
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
When your lovin' lover has gone
