When Your Lover Has Gone
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
The lyrics of The Rat Pack's song "When Your Lover Has Gone" convey the feeling of despair and desolation that comes with the end of a relationship. The opening lines of the song question the value of the time and energy that people invest in planning and dreaming about their romantic relationships. The chorus acknowledges the sense of emptiness that follows the departure of a loved one, as the natural beauty of starlit skies, moonlight, and sunrise are no longer appreciated or even noticed. The final verse highlights the loneliness that lingers long after a breakup, through the metaphor of faded flowers that no longer have any meaning.
The song is a poignant reminder of the pain that inevitably follows when a romantic relationship ends. The lyrics capture the sense of loss that is felt when one's dreams and plans for the future have been shattered. They also suggest that the beauty and wonder of the natural world lose their power to delight and inspire us when we are consumed by heartbreak and loneliness.
Overall, the song offers a bleak but truthful representation of how devastating it can be to lose a lover, and the emotional fallout that follows.

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
Why bother with trying so hard, fantasizing, and hoping for the best with each new romantic relationship?
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
Those fantasies and wishes we have for our love lives can often be shattered and leave us with nothing tangible.
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
Being by yourself makes everything less enchanting, and there's no excitement in the start of a new day when you've lost your love.
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
The evenings feel especially isolated and sad, memories of better times hurt, and life loses its purpose when the person you love is no longer with you.
