When Your Lover Has Gone Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

What good is the scheming, the planning, the dreaming 

That comes with each new love affair 

The love that you cherish so often may perish 

And leave you with castles in air 

When you're alone 

Who cares for starlit skies 

When you're alone 

The magic moonlight dies 

At break of dawn 

There is no sunrise 

When your lover has gone 

What lonely hours 

The evening shadows bring 

What lonely hours 

With memories lingering 

Like faded flowers 

Life can't mean anything 

When your lover has gone
