NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE

Lyrics and music by Winston Apple

I had never believed in love at first sight and then I saw you
It was so much more than just a physical attraction
Deep down in my soul I felt drawn to you
When you left me, I thought my heart was broken
I figured I’d never be in love again
I thought that no one else could take your place, as it turns out, I was wrong
(Now that you’re gone) The heart you broke has mended 
(Now that you’re gone) I seem to be doing alright
It’s been a whole lot easier than I thought it would be for me to carry on 
Now that you’re gone

Once upon a time I thought that you and I would be together for the rest of our lives
Our picture perfect love had me believing that fairy tales could come true
And even after things started going wrong
I kept believing somehow we’d find a happy ending
I guess I’ve seen too many movies and sung along with too many love songs
(Now that you’re gone) It’s a different story 
(Now that you’re gone) I’m singing a different song
There’s always somebody new singing harmony
Somebody new singing along now that you’re gone

Although I’m not in love with you anymore
I will love you for the rest of my life
And in your own way, I get the feeling you may always love me too
But knowing you may be loving me from afar
Isn’t meeting my need for love and affection
I may never be completely over you, but it’s time for me to move on 
(Now that you’re gone) I’ve made a fresh start 
(Now that you’re gone) It’s good to be free 
New friends and lovers have taken your place, so life goes on
Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) The dream may be over
(Now that you’re gone) A new dream has been born
I look around and everything’s different, but I’m right where I belong 
Now that you’re gone
