Gone With The Wind
Jacintha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has blown away
Yesterday′s kisses are still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has gone,
Gone with the Wind.
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday′s kisses are still, still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the Wind
My romance has flown apart
Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has
Gone with the Wind.
Gone with the Wind

Overall, the lyrics of Gone With the Wind are poignant and powerful, capturing the complicated emotions that come with lost love and the process of moving on.

Gone With the Wind
My love has vanished and is now gone forever
Just like a leaf that has flown away
My love disappeared like a leaf in the wind which flew away
Gone with the wind
My romance has disappeared suddenly like the wind
My romance has blown away
My love has disappeared never to be seen again
Yesterday′s kisses are still on my lips,
Memories of our romantic moments linger in my mind
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
Our love was once strong, like a paradise I could hold on my palm.
But now all-all is gone.
Everything we had is lost, and nothing remains.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
The excitement and passion I felt have now left me
Just like a flame
Our love once burned bright and intense,
Love burned brightly, then became
But eventually, it faded away like dying ember
An empty smoke ring that has gone,
Leaving nothing behind but a faint memory of what once was
Gone, gone, gone with the wind
My love has disappeared, never to return
My romance has flown away
My love vanished into the air, never to be found

Once I Love - Jacintha - Lyrics
Once I loved
And I gave so much love to that love
It was a world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud
And let him say goodbye
Then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again
Now I know, that no matter, whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Night and day
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Musical Interlude
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
