Lying by your side I watch you sleeping
And in your face the sweetness of a child
Murmuring the dream you won't recapture
Though it will haunt the corners of your mind
Oh, I've lost you though you're near me
And your body's still as kind
I've lost you on the journey
But I can't remember where or when
Oh no
Who can tell when summer turns to autumn
And who can point the moment love grows cold
Softly, without pain, the joy is over
Though why it's gone neither of us know
Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling
Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling
Six o'clock the baby will be crying
And you will stumble, sleeping, to the door
In the chill and sullen gray of morning
We play the parts that we have learned too well
Oh, I've lost you, oh I've lost you
Though you won't admit it so
I've lost you on the journey
But I can't remember where or whe
Oh no
Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling
