What good is
The scheming
The planning
The dreaming
That come with each
New love affair
The love that
You cherish
So often may 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 mem'ries
Lingering
Like faded flow'rs
Life can't mean
Anything when
Your lover has gone
