What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
   That comes with each new love affair
   The love that you cherish, so often might perish
   And leave 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
   When your lover has gone
  
   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, when your lover has gone
   Ooooh, when your lover has gone
