Since you've gone The moon, the sun, the stars in the sky Know the reason why I cry Love divine once was mine; Now you've gone. Since you've gone My heart, my lips, my tear-dimmed eyes, A lonely soul within me cries. I acted smart, broke your heart; Now you've gone. Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted. The love that I've tasted. I was wrong; now you've gone Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted. The love that I've tasted. I was wrong; now you've gone
