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

(Away, away, away, away)

There’s nothing that you can lose

(Oh, no)

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
