the one you loved is gone

Slash

And I wonder even now
Whatever came of you
And I wonder even now
Where you are
Even though I'm much too proud
To ever say it
Your ghost still comes around
To haunt my heart

If only time
Could somehow turn the page
If only I
Hadn't walked away

I'm a desperate man
Who longs to stop the aching
I'm a desperate man
Who longs to find someone
Who can show me
There is joy left for the taking
Who can show me
There's a song left to be sung

If only time
Could somehow turn the page
If only I
Hadn't walked away

The lonely embrace of days gone by
So better the taste where love survives
But the one you loved is gone

Now I know, now I know
We can't replace what we let go
And still I hope, still I hope
That time will ease the pain
Of losing something that was pure
And beautiful

And I wonder even now
Whatever came of you
And I wonder even now
Where you are

The lonely embrace of days gone by
So better the taste where love survives
But the one you loved is gone

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
If only time could turn the page

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
And take me back to yesterday

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, but things would always change

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh
