Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song in Spain 1989 as I was there with my wife for the first time. We enjoyed the sun each day on the beach and then went to our room in the hotel to get prepared to dine out in the evening. I picked up the guitar and wrote each day a couple of songs and then this song came along. It has taken me all this time to write the lyric in English and get prepared to perform it myself.

Song Description

The moment I was sure about my love for you was true I came to realise that I was loosing you Oh - How can I go on without you my love How can I live my life now that you´re gone

Lyrics

GONE FOREVER
Sweet memories of you are on my mind
Precious moments that we shared
through tides of time
Haunting me like wildfire
while I´m writing down these words
To the song I wrote for you
but you never heard
How could I imagine then
with my heart so filled with love
That bad fortune
would come as lightning from above
The moment I was sure about
my love for you was true
I came to realise that I was loosing you
Oh - How can I go on without you my love
How can I live my life now that you´re gone
I know it better now how suddenly life can change
You know I´d give anything to have you back again
Ooo

So many things I wanted
to share with you
Feelings I kept inside me
now there is nothing I can do
Things I should have told you
are buried deep down in my heart
But how was I supposed to know
that our ways would part
I´ll never ever kiss your lips again
Never ever feel your body close to mine
You´ve left an empty space and all I feel is pain
Loosing you oh the feeling drives me insane
Oh - How can I go on without you my love
How can I live my life now that you´re gone
I know it better now how suddenly life can change
You know I´d give anything to have you back again
I´ll never ever kiss your lips again
Never ever feel your body close to mine
You´ve left an empty space and all I feel is pain
Loosing you oh the feeling drives me insane
