After the Love Is Gone - Stanley Turrentine

For a while, to love was all we could do

We were young and knew

and your eyes were alive

Deep inside we knew our love was true

For a while we paid no mind to the past

We knew love would last

Every night somethin' right

Would invite us to begin the dance

Somethin' happened along the way

What used to be happy was sad

Somethin' happened along the way

And yesterday was all we had

Oh, after the love has gone

How could you lead me on

And not let me stay around?

Oh, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong

Can love that was lost be found?

For a while to love each other

Was all we would ever need

Love was strong for so long

We never knew that what was wrong

wasn’t right

We tried to find what we had

But sadness was all we shared

We were scared our affair

Would tear our love in two

Somethin' happened along the way

What used to be happy was sad

Somethin' happened along the way

Yesterday was all we had

Oh, after the love has gone

How could you lead me on

And not let me stay around?

Oh, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong

Can love that was lost be found?

Oh, after the love has gone

How could you lead me on

And not let me stay around?

Oh, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong

Can love that was lost be found?

Oh, after the love has gone

How could you lead me on

And not let me stay around?

Oh, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong

Can love that was lost be found?
