What Now My Love
Sammy Davis Jr. with the Buddy Rich Orchestra Lyrics

What now my love
What should I do now that you're gone?

Now that you left me
You left me alone and I don't know what to do.

How can I live through another day
I'm struggling to find the will to keep going without you.

Watching my dreams turn into ashes
Everything I hoped for is gone, destroyed like ashes.

And all my hopes into bits of clay
Even my previously solid hopes have been reduced to fragile bits of clay.

Once I could see, once I could feel
I used to have a clear vision and strong emotions, but now I'm lost and numb.

Now I am numb
I can't feel anything anymore.

I've become unreal
I feel like I'm not really living, like I'm not a real person anymore.

I walk the night, oh, without a goal
I wander aimlessly through my sleepless nights.

Stripped of my heart, my soul
I feel like I've lost the most important parts of myself.

Now that it's over
Our relationship has ended and there's no going back.

I feel the world closing in on me
I'm suffocating under the weight of my grief.

Here come the stars
The night sky seems to mock me with its beauty.

Tumbling around me
It feels like everything is falling apart.

And there's the sky where the sea should be
Even the world around me is upside down and wrong without you.

Now that you're gone
I can't believe you're not here anymore.

I'd be a fool to go on and on
It would be foolish for me to keep living without you.

No one would care, no one would cry
No one would miss me if I were gone.

If I should live or die
I'm not even sure what the point of living is anymore.

Now there is nothing
Everything that mattered to me is gone now.

Only my last goodbye
All I have left is to say goodbye to you one final time.
