If Love Must Go

Johnny Rivers

Compositor: Will Jennings

Another long and sleepless night
Has turned to tears and morning light
We've used up all the ways
To say I'm sorry

And even though we've loved so much
Now we use the words to touch
What's left of love
And turn it into pain

And once you've opened up that door
You just can't close it anymore

If love must go
How can I face the world?
I've built around you

You took me up on golden wings
Let me feel the gentle things
And love could be
Oh, the world was you and me

What will I do?
I've used my love on you
There's no more for any other

And there's no holding back the tears
I'm feeling all the years
We'll never come to know
If love must go

If only we could turn around
And keep it all from falling down
We'd wake up in each other's arms tomorrow

We can't put it all away
Call it just another day
But all we holding in our arms is sorrow
When you forget what nights are for
You know it's no good anymore

If love must go
How can I face the world?
I've built around you
You took me up on golden wings
Let me feel the gentle things
That love could be

Oh, the world was you and me
What will I do?
I've used my love on you
There's no more for any other

And there's no holding back the tears
I'm feeling all the years
We'll never come to know
If love must go
