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
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
For ages and ages, the poets and sages Of love, wondrous love always sings
But ask any lover, and you'll soon discover The heartaches that romance can bring
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
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
