After the Love Is Gone Lyrics

(Foster/Graydon/Champlin)

For awhile to love was all we could do
We were young and knew and your eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night somethin' right
Would invite us to begin the dance

Bridge:
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Something happened along the way
And yesterday was all we knew
Chorus:
And oh, after the love is gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, after the love is gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that was lost (still) be found?

For awhile, to love each other was all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was wrong wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
But sadness was all that we shared
We were scared our affair would tear our love in two
(Bridge)

(Chorus)

(Guitar solo)

(Chorus 3x and fade)
