Lover
Kai Winding & J. J. Johnson Lyrics

You went away
You left me

I let you
I allowed you to leave

We broke the ties that bind
We ended our relationship

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

And leave the past behind
And move on from our history together

Still, the magic of the night I met you
However, the specialness of the night we first met

Seems to stay forever in my mind
Appears to be permanently etched in my memory

The sky was blue
The color of the sky was blue

And high above
In the distant sky

The moon was new
The moon was in its first phase

And so was love
The love between us was new and fresh

This eager heart of mine was singing
My enthusiastic heart was singing joyfully

Lover where can you be
Where are you, my beloved?

You came at last
You finally arrived

Love had its day
Our love was at its peak

That day is past
That period is gone

You've gone away
You've left me

This aching heart of mine is singing
My pained heart is singing out loud

Lover come back to me
Come back to me, my lover

When I remember every little thing
When I reminisce about every insignificant detail

You used to do
The actions you once performed

I'm so lonely
I am deeply longing for you

Every road I walk along
Every path I walk on

I walk along with you
I imagine you walking with me

No wonder I am lonely
It's no surprise that I feel lonely

The sky is blue
The color of the sky is blue

The night is cold
The night is chilly

The moon is new
The moon is in its first phase

But love is old
But our love is mature and longstanding

And while I'm waiting here
Meanwhile, I am waiting

This heart of mine is singing
My heart is singing aloud

Lover come back to me
Return to me, my lover
