What happens when you love someone
And then you have to leave
Your heart with anguish heaves
And you feel yourself come undone

What happens when you walk away
And he will not be there on a rainy day
When you both know you can't stay
And without him things always go astray

What happens when it finally hits you
And you trudge alone down the lonely lane
Your love stands the test true
Of time and distance, yet again

I know what happens when hope fades
And numbness engulfs me
Tears and pain, like a waterfall cascade
And you feel cold, colder than the deepest sea
