After the Love Is Gone
Tommy Emmanuel Lyrics

For a while to love was all we could do
In the beginning, our sole focus and purpose was to love each other.

We were young and we knew
We were aware of our youth and the opportunities that lay ahead for us.

And our eyes were alive
We had a spark and excitement in our eyes as we embarked on this love journey.

Deep inside we knew our love was true
Within ourselves, we had a profound understanding that our love was genuine.

For a while we paid no mind to the past
For some time, we deliberately disregarded our past and focused on the present.

We knew love would last
We had the confidence and belief that our love would endure.

Every night somethin right
Each night, there was something special and perfect about our relationship.

Would invite us to begin the dance
These positive aspects would inspire us to embrace the dance of love and continue our journey.

Somethin′ happened along the way
However, something happened unexpectedly in our relationship.

What used to be happy was sad
The happiness we once shared transformed into sadness.

And yesterday was all we had
Our memories of the past became the only thing we held onto.

And oh after the love has gone
Following the loss of our love, the pain and emptiness became evident.

How could you lead me on
I am left wondering why you deceived and misled me.

And not let me stay around
You did not allow me to remain in your life.

What used to be right is wrong
The once correct and harmonious aspects of our relationship turned into mistakes and misunderstandings.

Can love thats lost be found
Is it possible to rediscover and resurrect the love that we have lost?

For a while to love each other with all
In the past, our love for each other was all-encompassing.

We would ever need
We believed that love was the sole requirement for our complete happiness.

Love was strong for so long
Our love remained resilient and unwavering for an extended period of time.

Never knew that what was
We were unaware that what we once had

Wrong oh baby wasnt right
Was actually flawed and imperfect, my dear.

We tried to find what we had
We made attempts to recapture the love we once shared.

Till sadness was all we shared
Unfortunately, our relationship turned into a shared experience of sadness and sorrow.

We were scared this affair would lead our love into
There was a fear that this affair would ultimately destroy our love.

What used to be happy is sad
The happiness we once knew transformed into sadness and despair.

Oh woh woh after the love has gone
Oh, how sorrowful and desolate life became after our love dissipated.

Can love thats lost be found
Is there any hope in rediscovering a love that has vanished?

Woh woh woh after the love has gone
A prolonged period of sadness and emptiness persisted after the loss of our love.

What used to be right is wrong
The things that were once considered correct and proper turned into mistakes and misjudgments.

Can love thats lost be found
Is it conceivable to reclaim and rediscover a love that has been lost?

Woh woh woh
A melancholic refrain that symbolizes the lingering sadness and emptiness.
