If Love Must Go

Another long and sleepless night
Has turned to tears and morning light
We’ve used up all the ways to say I’m sorry
Even though we’ve loved so much
Now we use the words to touch what’s
Left of love and turned it into pain
Once you’ve opened up that door you
Just can’t close it anymore.
If love must go, how can I face the world
I built around you? You took me up on
Golden wings, let me feel the gentle things that love
could be. Oh, the world was you and me. What will I do I’ve used
My love on you there’s no more for any other.
There’s no holding back these tears,
I’m feeling all the years we’ll never come to know. If love must go.
If only we could turn around and keep it all from
falling down we’d wake up in each others arms tomorrow.
But we can’t put it all away and call it just another day when all
we’re holding in our arms is sorrow.
When you forget what nights are for you know it’s no good anymore.
If love must go how can I face the world I built around you?
You took me up on Golden wings,
let me feel the gentle things that love
could be. Oh, the world was you and me.
What will I do, I’ve used my love on you there’s no more for any
other. There’s no holding back these tears,
I’m feeling all the years we’ll never come to know.
If love must go.
