Love You Lost Lyrics

I used to live for passion and the pleasures of the day

And I was known as quite the early riser

But lately, I just lie around and moon the hours away

A hopeless fantasizer, sad, but so much wiser

Don't sing of loveknots and valentines

Don't sing of moondrops swimming in the wine

Sing of the rocks where our wayward ship was tossed

Seems the only love that lasts is love you lost

I'm through with dances under starlit skies

Through with glances from dark enchanted eyes

I've weighed my chances and added up the cost

And the only love that lasts is love you lost

Young love is a fire burning

That fades with the chill of night

When love is gone, there's a hungry yearning

That stays by your side and holds you tight

No dream of riches or battles I have won

No stolen kisses, or seasons in the sun

I dream of bridges, the ones I never crossed

Seems the only love that lasts is love you lost
