Now That You're Hang
Joe Cocker Lyrics

Are you still that little girl who used to talk to me?
Do you still possess the same level of innocence and purity that you once had when we were young and used to talk to each other?

Just look how far we've come in this world
Reflecting on how much our lives have changed since we first knew each other.

Where did you think we'd be?
What were your expectations when we first started our journey together?

You think the world wakes up at noon
You seem to have the impression that the world revolves around you and your schedule.

And you left it all behind
You abandoned your past and all that was familiar to you.

You hear the music but you've lost the tune
Although you still listen to the familiar sounds of the music, the essence and beauty of it eludes you.

The melodies are hard to find.
The sweet and harmonious melodies of our lives together are now elusive.

Why did you go away Leaving me alonez There's nothing left to say Now that you're gone - Now that you're gone - now that you're gone.
Expressing grief, confusion and loss associated with the sudden departure of a loved one.

In the eyes of the woman I see You were lust a child Not the one who's walking the streets Not the one who's running wild.
Describing how seeing a girl that one used to know as an adult can take them aback as they remember the innocent child they used to know.

Say life has changed that much You don't want to know All the love we shared in this world Not so long ago.
Wondering if life's changes have lead to a disinterest in mutual love, that too not too long ago.

Why did you go away Leaving me alone? . . .
Reiterating the disbelief and confusion from earlier on.

Now that you're gone Now that you're gone.
Reaffirming what has come to pass as though it is tangible, with a sense of finality and sadness.
