We were shadows on a moonlit night, we kissed just like the wind
It was only for a moment, but I was already taken in
You touched me oh so gently and you held me close and tight
Try but I just can't forget the magic of that night

We can't go back to where we started
We can't erase our destiny

Now that you're gone, I know how much you mean to me
Now that you're gone I stay awake all night and try to face the morning
Now that you're gone I miss your precious love so deeply
Now that you're gone

I wake up in the morning see the lines beneath my eyes
They're only a reminder of the tears that I have cried
We've said too much already, how did love just slip away?
Oh tell me what you want to hear, baby promise that you'll stay

If I can't hold you in my arms, babe
I'm gonna close my eyes and make believe

Now that you're gone, I know how much you mean to me
Now that you're gone I stay awake all night and try to face the morning
Now that you're gone I miss your precious love so deeply
It's so hard to carry on
Now that you're gone

Oh the silence of the nighttime drives me crazy
Now you know I've cried so many times
Oh my baby baby baby yeah yeah yeah
I need you back right here where you belong

Now that you're gone, I know how much you mean to me
Now that you're gone I stay awake all night and try to face the morning
Now that you're gone I miss your precious love so deeply
It's so hard to carry on
Now that you're gone
