Love Is Here and Now You're Gone (Album «Got To Be There», 1972)
Love is here (love is here) And, oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) Love is here (love is here) And, oh, my darling, now now, you're gone (now, you're gone) You persuaded me to love you, and I did But instead of tenderness, I found heartache instead Into your arms, I fell so unaware Of the loneliness that was waiting there (Look what you have done, look what you have done) SPOKEN: You closed the door to your heart And you turned the key, Locked your love away from me. Love is here (love is here) And, oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) You made me love you (you made me love you) And, oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) You said loving you would make life beautiful With each passing day But as soon as love came into my heart, You turned and you walked, just walked away (Look what you have done, look what you have done) SPOKEN: You stripped me of my dreams. You gave me faith then took my hope. Look at me now. Look at me See what loving you has done to me Look at my face (look at my face) See how crying has left its trace (left its trace) After you made me all your own (made me all your own) Then you left me all alone (left me all alone) You made your words sound so sweet Knowing that your love I couldn't keep (Look what you have done, look what you have done) SPOKEN: My heart cries out for your touch But you're not there, And the lonely cry fades in the air. Love is here (love is here) And, oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) Love is here (love is here) And, oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) You made me love you (you made me love you) Oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) You made me love you (you made me love you) Oh, my darling, now, you're gone (now, you're gone) (fade out)
