When Love Is Gone

Martina McBride · Other Songs - Martina McBride

There was a time when I was sure

That you and I were truly one

That our future was forever

And would never come undone

And we came so close to being close

And though you cared for me

There's distance in your eyes tonight

So we're not meant to be



The love is gone

The love is gone

The sweetest dream

That we have ever known

The love is gone

The love is gone

I wish you well

But I must leave you know alone



There comes a moment in your life

Like a window, and you see

That your future's there before you

And how perfect life could be

But adventures call with unknown voices

Pulling you away

Be careful or you may regret

The choice you make someday



The love is gone

The love is gone

The sweetest dream

That we have ever known

The love is gone

The love is gone

I wish you well

But I must leave you now alone



It was almost love

It was almost always

It was like a fairytale we'd live out

You and I

And yes some dreams come true

And yes some dreams fall through

And yes the time has come

For us to say goodbye



Yes some dreams come true

And yes some dreams fall through

And yes the time has come

For us to say goodbye.
