Though you've gone away from me
the essence of your love I still can feel it
But there's an aching in my heart that
no amount of time is gonna heal it
And so sometimes I wander why when
love would come around I'd deny me
And so I'd tell myself just what a fool I've
been for letting your love slip by me
Now alone with memories that die like petals
on a welted flower
And with my thoughts to keep me company
and help me pass away the lonely hours
I never could give you the things a man should
give to a woman, a woman like you
But the essence of your love will stay with me
my whole life through, Well you know it will,
(Guitar solo)
Now alone with memories that die like petals
on a welted flower
And with my thoughts to keep me company
and help me pass away the lonely hours
I could not give you all the things a man should
give to a woman, like you
But the essence of your love will stay with me
my whole life through, my whole life through
my whole life through
