After The Love Is Gone
Brian McKnight · Other Songs - Brian McKnight
But nothing could break my fall
The moment when you left my side, oh baby
And now there's nothing left to say
Ever since you went away
I been yearning for you deep inside
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on..
Can I go on
CHORUS
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (yours)
Will I ever get over cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone
If I had only had a clue
That I'd end up losing you
I might of held on to my heart, oh girl
Taking for granted you'd be mine
Til the end of time
Has torn my world apart
And I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the love we shared
How can we go wrong
And how
can I go on and on and on
CHORUS
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think, think about the love we shared
How can we go wrong
And how
can I go on on
CHORUS
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone
After the love is gone
Life must go on
I gotta be strong
After the love is gone
I can't believe it
But she's gone
But I gotta be strong
I gotta gotta gotta be
Gotta gotta gotta be
Gotta gotta gotta be strong
After the love is gone
