Gone Is My Love
Perry Como · Other Songs - Perry Como
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Gone is she, gone away from me,
But I remember what she said,
Here's my heart, my one an' only heart,
Save it 'till the day we wed!
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Sad was I when we said goodbye,
And as she left I heard her say,
Here's my love, my ever-lasting love,
Save it 'till our wedding day!
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
I can still feel her lips on mine,
Feel the heart within me burn,
Years have come and many years have gone,
Still, I wait for her return.
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Gone is my love!
