When Love Has Gone Away El DeBarge Nothing matters when you're on your own Ain't no laughter, only alone With the mem'ries of love you have known You cling to yesterday Sunshine shinin' only for one Just brings darkness after it's done You stay cold when you're on the run A painful price to pay You die inside a little Each time that you open your eyes You try to hide But you must face the truth When love has gone away Raining morning long overdue Time I used to spend holdin' you I don't think you were just passing through It just turned out that way You die inside a little Each time that you open your eyes You try to hide But you must face the truth When love has gone away There's nothing that you can lose You die inside a little Each time that you open your eyes You try to hide But you must face the truth When love has gone away There's nothing that you can lose When love has gone away Oh, baby Oh
