What Now My Love
Frank Sinatra feat. Aretha Franklin Lyrics

Once I could see, once I could feel
In the past, I was alive and well, able to experience the world around me in vivid detail.

Now I am numb and I've become unreal
But now, I feel nothing. I am disconnected from reality and unable to feel anything deeply.

I walk the night without a goal
I wander aimlessly through the darkness, without any clear purpose or direction.

Stripped of my heart and my soul
I feel like a shell of a person, with no passion or purpose to give me any meaning.

What now my love, what now my love, now that you've left me
Now that my love has left me, I am lost and adrift, unsure of what my future holds.

How can I live, how can I live through another day
I struggle to find the motivation to go on living when everything feels so bleak and empty.

Watching my dreams turning into ashes
All of my hopes and dreams seem to be withering away, leaving nothing but ash and disappointment behind.

And all of my hopes, all of my hopes into bits of clay
Everything I once hoped for has crumbled into dust, like pottery that has been broken beyond repair.

What now my love, what now, what now
What is there left for me now that everything I once held dear is gone?

What now, what now, now that it's over
What do I do now that the chapter of my life that brought me joy and meaning has come to an end?

What now, what now, what now, what now
What is left for me to do now that everything I once cared about has been taken away?

I feel the whole world falling all around me
It feels like the entire world is collapsing in on me, leaving me isolated and alone.

Here comes the stars, falling around me
Even the stars themselves seem to be falling and failing, echoing the sense of despair and loss I feel.

There's the sky, where the earth ought to be
Everything around me feels distorted and out of place, leaving me with a sense of disorientation and confusion.

What now my love, now that you're gone
Now that the love of my life has left me, I am bereft and alone, with no one to turn to for support or comfort.

I'd be a fool to go on and on and on
Even though it might be difficult, it seems like continuing to live life in this state of emptiness and pain would be foolish.

And on and on, and on and on, and on and on, on
Continuing to suffer like this would be like an endless cycle of perpetual agony and despair.

No one would care, nobody's gonna cry
It feels like nobody else would be affected by my suffering or even notice if I were to simply give up and fade away.

If he should live, live or die
Whether I live or die doesn't seem to matter to anyone else, so it becomes a moot point.

What now my love, now there is nothing
Now that everything has fallen apart, there is nothing left for me to hold onto or look forward to.

Only my last, my last goodbye, my last goodbye
All that remains for me is to say goodbye to the life and love that once sustained me, and to try to move on from this emptiness and pain as best I can.
