Nana Mouskouri - He's Gone Away lyrics

He was just a stranger to me Though at first he hardly knew me His devotion, his emotion Like an ocean swept right through me For a while he loved me sweetly And it broke my heart completly When my true love found a new love And he left me so alone He is gone away And it's all over now Won't waste a day Wondering why or wondering how Love didn't last And my world went astray Time flew too fast I will love another day What's past is past now And he's gone away Once I couldn't live without him I was too in love to doubt him Then my true love found a new love Now I never think about him Just sometimes as night is falling In my heart I start recalling How he told me, when he told me He would love me all my life He is gone away And it's all over now Won't waste a day Wondering why or wondering how Love didn't last And my world went astray Time flew too fast I will love another day What's past is past now And he's gone away
