After the Love Is Gone

For awhile, to love was all we could do
 We were young and new and our eyes were alive
 Deep inside we knew our love was true
 For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
 We knew love would last, every night - something right
 Would invite us to begin the dance
 But something happened along the way
 What used to be happy was sad
 Something happened along the way
 And yesterday was all we had
 Oh, after the love is gone
 How could you lead me on
 And not let me stay around
 Oh, after the love is gone
 What used to be right is wrong
 Can love that was lost be found
 For awhile, to love each other was all we would ever need
 Love was strong for so long
 We never knew that what was wrong was right
 We tried to find what we'd had but sadness was all we shared
 We were scared our affair would tear our love in two
