I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it\'s true
So tell me all about it, tell me \'bout the plans you\'re makin\'

When all that I\'ve been livin\' for is gone

And I don\'t wanna know the price I\'m gonna pay for dreamin\'

Now that I\'ve been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I\'ve been livin\' for is gone

Without you, after I\'ve been lovin\' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I\'ve been ...
