Love Has Gone For A Lifetime

Sung to the tune of Johnny Has Gone For a Soldier

Love Has Gone For A Lifetime



Here I sit, alone once more
To mourn the loss of love so pure
Helpless now to resist it’s lure
Love has gone for a lifetime

How my eyes ache constantly
For his face, my eyes to see
For his sight, I pray silently
Love has gone for a lifetime

My heart throbs, the wounds they bleed
As the bonds of love are freed
Always, ended in one word, one deed
Love has gone for a lifetime

Now my soul feels empty, cold
Without his heart to have and hold
The pain it brings, raw, openly bold
Love has gone for a lifetime

I shall hope so faithfully
For his return of love to me
I want in vain, eternally
Love has gone for a lifetime.
