Love Is Here And Now You're Gone

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

Love is here and

Oh, my darling, now you're gone

Love is here and

Oh, my darling, now, 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 felt

So unaware of the loneliness

That was waiting there

You close the door to your heart

And you turned the key, locked your love away from me

Love is here and

Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you

And oh, my darling, 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

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

See how cryin' has left it's trace

After you made me all your own

Then you left me all alone

You made your words sound so sweet

Knowing that your love i couldn't keep

My heart cries out for your touch

But you're not there

And the lonely cry fades in the air

Love is here and

Oh, my darling, now you're gone

Love is here and

Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you

Oh, my darling

Now you're gone

You made me love you

Oh, my darling

Now you're gone
