When The Lovin' Goes Out Of The Lovin'
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
And there isn't a thing you can do
But reminisce of yesterdays
Second guess her changin' ways
And fill your time with people just like you
When the lovin's gone out of the lovin'
And there isn't a thing you can say
You bite your tongue and wonder why
And then you watch your life flash by
Hopin' things will turn around your way
There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How can I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever leave you and be free
When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
And there's no easy way to pretend
That anythin' could ever be
As good a thing as you and me
It's hard to understand this is the end
There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How could I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever leave you
There isn't a lovin' thing I can say
There isn't a lovin' thing I can do
There isn't a lovin' way I can ever reach you
How can I walk away and feel free
When lovin' you means my whole life to me?
There isn't a lovin' way I could ever leave you and feel free
When the lovin' goes out of the lovin'
