When Your Lover Has Gone - Lyrics - Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Lois Vaughan was an American jazz singer, described by music critic Scott Yanow as having "one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century."

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...
