Lyrics for You Went Away

Ross Vanelli & Philip Bailey How can you explain that we're apart When all we've known is being together Time had made our love a work of art So sure we were, that nothing could change us The dreams we thought tomorrow would bring us, Were fading away Oh you reassured hope and I believed That never would our promise be broken And now I question what is yet to be When all is left of me is a token Of dreams we use to build upon each day But you wouldn't stay You don't know the very best part of me You don't know cause you went away I can't believe you want no part of me (Ever) since you went away, there's Nothing quite The same in my life I may be shaken by the night But I know the truth will never mislead me I have the love, I have my life And even with your memories beside me I know the strength inside me Will guide me all of the way
