Lover Come Back to Me
Longing for Lost Love: Brook Benton's Melancholic Plea
Lyrics
You went away
You departed
I let you
I allowed it to happen
We broke the ties that bind
We ended the emotional connection
I wanted to forget you
I wished to erase the memory of you
And leave the past behind
And move on from the past
Still, the magic of the night I met you
Yet, the enchantment of the night we first met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind
Seems to linger eternally in my thoughts
The sky was blue
The atmosphere was positive
And high above
And far above
The moon was new
The moon was in its early stages
And so was love
And so was our love
This eager heart of mine was singing
This eager heart of mine was expressing
Lover where can you be
Where are you, my beloved?
You came at last
You arrived eventually
Love had its day
Love had its time
That day is past
That time has passed
You've gone away
You have departed
This aching heart of mine is singing
This pained heart of mine is expressing
Lover come back to me
Come back to me, my lover
When I remember every little thing
When I recollect every small detail
You used to do
Actions you used to perform
I'm so lonely
I feel so isolated
Every road I walk along
Every path I tread
I walk along with you
I traverse with the memory of you
No wonder I am lonely
No wonder I am desolate
The sky is blue
The sky remains azure
The night is cold
The night is chilly
The moon is new
The moon is in its early stages
But love is old
But love is enduring
And while I'm waiting here
And as I wait here
This heart of mine is singing
This heart of mine is expressing
Lover come back to me
Come back to me, my lover
When I remember every little thing
Recalling every little thing
You used to do
Actions you used to perform
I grow lonely
I become lonely
Every road I walk along
Every path I tread
I walk along with you
I walk along with the memory of you
No wonder I am lonely
No wonder I am desolate
The sky is blue
The sky remains azure
The night is cold
The night is chilly
The moon is new
The moon is in its early stages
But love is old
But love is enduring
And while I'm waiting here
And as I wait here
This heart of mine is singing
This heart of mine is expressing
Lover come back to me
Come back to me, my lover
