Lyrics
NOW THAT YOU ARE LEAVING
Why has the sun gone down?
Why have the birds all flown/
Why has the music died?
It's just cos you are leaving
Why is there no moon tonight?
And where are all the stars
Why, oh, why, are angels grieving?
It's just cos you are leaving
Comes a time for things to change
No chance of retrieving
The love that we (once) shared
Now that you are leaving
Why has the sea left the shore?
Why has the summer turned to fall?
Why is a chill wind blowing?
It's just cos you are leaving
Never wanted this to happen
I never thought it would
Ours was a love made in heaven
But now, you're leaving -
Yes, you're leaving
Comes a time for things to change
No chance of retrieving
The love that we (once) shared
Now that you are leaving
