🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
What now, my love, now that you left me?How can I live through another dayWatching my dreams turn into ashesAnd all my hopes into bits of clay?Once I could see, once I could feelNow I’m numb, I’ve become unrealI walk the night, oh, without a goalStripped of my heart, my soulWhat now, my love, now that it’s over?I feel the world closing in on meHere comes the stars tumbling around meAnd there’s the sky where the sea should beWhat now, my love, now that you’re gone?I’d be a fool to go on and onNo one would care, no one would cryIf I should live or dieWhat now, my love, now there is nothing?Only my last goodbyeOnly my last goodbye
