Lover
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra/Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics

You went away
You left me

I let you
I allowed you to leave

We broke the ties that bind
Our relationship fell apart

I wanted to forget you
I tried to erase you from my memory

And leave the past behind
And move on from what we had

Still, the magic of the night I met you Seems to stay forever in my mind
Despite everything, my memory of our first meeting remains vivid

The sky was blue And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be
When we first fell in love, everything seemed fresh and exciting and I couldn't get enough of you

You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Our love had a brief moment to shine, but now that you're gone my heart longs for you to return

When I remember every little thing You used to do I'm so lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely
Whenever I think of the memories we shared, I feel a deep sense of loneliness, especially since everywhere I go reminds me of you

The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Time has passed, but my love for you remains strong and I still long for your return

When I remember every little thing You used to do I grow lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely
My memories of our time together make me feel more and more alone, as it feels like you're always with me even though you're not physically there

The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
Despite the passing of time, my desire for your return remains strong and my heart keeps calling out for you to come back to me
