The Love You Left Behind lyrics
by Christine Baranski
[Verse 1]
When you were here we'd find fun
Where you'd never think it'd be
Folding our socks wouldâ
become
Oneâ
long night ofâ
laughter and glee
Memories in the air
Inâ
this house in my mind
Of the love you left behind
[Verse 2]
Seasonsâtheyâcomeâand they go
Andâthe days canâslip into years
Feelings can fade, but they don't
'Cause the trace of you is still here
Photos in their frames
Precious moments that remind
Of the love you left behind
[Bridge]
When I sit at our piano
It brings sun into the shadows, my dear
Sadness isn't scary
When you know it's temporary
You're here
[Verse 3]
Somedays hurt more than I like
I get lonely, sad for awhile
But if I see a bird taking flight
Well my heart, it turns to a smile
I'm lucky that I don't
Have to look too far to find
The love you left behind
[Outro]
You're always by my side
And forever you'll be mine
I'm the love you left behind
