Though you've gone away from me the essence of your love I still can feel it But there's an aching in my heart that no amount of time is gonna heal it And so sometimes I wander why when love would come around I'd deny me And so I'd tell myself just what a fool I've been for letting your love slip by me Now alone with memories that die like petals on a welted flower And with my thoughts to keep me company and help me pa** away the lonely hours I never could give you the things a man should
give to a woman, a woman like you But the essence of your love will stay with me my whole life through, Well you know it will, (Guitar solo) Now alone with memories that die like petals on a welted flower And with my thoughts to keep me company and help me pa** away the lonely hours I could not give you all the things a man should give to a woman, like you But the essence of your love will stay with me my whole life through, my whole life through my whole life through
