The Yearning

When I Lost You

Why do the raindrops keep on falling

Fall down my window like they do?

Why does the second hand keep moving on

If life ended here when I lost you?

 

Why do the birds they keep on singing

At dawn, singing like they never knew?

Why do these things just seem to carry on

If life ended here when I lost you?

 

Every day, here I sit, now without you

My whole world has been turned around

But the world doesn't know how I feel now you

Are out of my life, now you're gone

 

Every day, here I sit, now without you

My whole world has been turned around

But the world doesn't know how I feel now you

Are out of my life, now you're gone

 

Why do the children keep on playing

And laugh with no sign of feeling blue?

Why do the people keep on passing by

If life ended here when I lost you?
