Lyrics Petula Clark

Petula Clark

There Goes My Love, There Goes My Life

How could you forget the taste of love

When I can still remember?

All the words we said are wasted

Now, it's just a dying ember

Every thought we shared together

Disappeared without a warning

As the book is closed forever,

So the truth is slowly dawning

There goes my love,

There goes my life

In your arms, such sweet seclusion

Only fate knew it was leading

To a heart full of confusion

Was it just a false illusion?

Maybe even you believed it

Victim of my own creation

There you were and I conceived it

So much for imagination

There goes my love,

There goes my life

Echoes of your voice surround me

Sympathetic smile's still taunting

Memories of you around me

Shadows of the parsed light haunting

Guilty of complete devotion

Sentenced to a life of longing

Prisoner of my own emotion

Wanting you but not belonging

There goes my love,

There goes my life
