Lyrics

• Love is here
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• Love is here
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• You persuaded me to love you
• And I did
• But instead of tenderness
• I found heartache instead
• Into your arms
• I fell so unaware of the loneliness
• That was waiting there

• You closed the door to your heart, girl
• And you turned the key
• Locked your love away from me

• Love is here
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• You made me love you
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• You said loving you
• Would make life beautiful
• With each passing day
• But as soon as love came
• Into my heart
• You turned and you walked
• Just walked away

• You stripped me of my dreams
• You gave me faith, then you took my hope
• Look at me now

• Look at me
• See what loving you has done to me
• Look at my face
• See how cryin’ has left its trace
• After you made me all your own
• Then you left me all alone
• You made your words sound so sweet
• Knowing that your love I couldn’t keep

• My heart cries out for your touch
• But baby, you’re not there
• And the lonely cry fades in the air

• Love is here
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• Love is here
• And oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• You made me love you
• Oh, oh, my darling, now you’re gone
• Talking ’bout love, love, love, love,
• Ooh, ooh my darling, now you’re gone
