Since you've gone away one thing is clear to me
You were dearer than dear to me
From the moment you came
Evenings by your side I learned to love the night
But the loveliness of the night
Is no longer the same.

When day is done and shadows fall
I dream of you
When day is done 
I think of all the joys we knew

That yearning, returning to hold you in my arms
Don't go, love
I know, love
Without you night has lost its charm
