Brian McKnight After the Love Lyrics

For awhile to love was all we could do
we were young and we knew and our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For awhile we paid no mind to the past
we knew love would last ev'ry night somethin' right
would invite us to begin the dance

Somethin' happened along the way what used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way and yesterday was all we had

And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

For awhile to love each other with all we would ever need
Love was strong for so long never knew that what was wrong oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into

Somethin' happened along the way yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way what used to be happy is sad
Somethin' happened along the way oh yesterday was all we had

And oh after the love has gone
how could you lead me on
and not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh

Oh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

Woh woh woh after the love has gone
what used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh, ahh, ooh, hey hey

[verse]
I thought that love would conquer all
But nothing could break my fall
The moment you left my sid
And now there's nothing left to say
Since you took you love away
I been yearning for you deep inside

[b sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on
Can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over
'Cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[verse]
If I on;y had a clue
That I'd end up losing you
I might of held on to my heart
Taking for granted you'd be mine
'Til the end of time
Has torn my world apart

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
(where you belong)
When I think, think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
[musical interlude]

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong (where you belong)
When I think of all the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the the love you thought was yours, mine and yours
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[end section]

(And after the love)
After the love is gone
Life must go on
[repeat 5 times w/ad lib]
After the love is gone

<b>Oo, lay lay lay lay/<b>
Oo, oh, oh, oh, ah, hey hey

I thought that love would conquer all
That nothing could break my fall
The moment you left my side, oh baby
And now there's nothing left to say
Ever since you went away
I've been yearning for you deep inside

I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how, can I go on, can I go on

Chorus:
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours
Mine and yours
Will I ever get over cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

If I had only had a clue
That I'd end up losing you
I might of held on to my heart, oh girl
Taking for granted you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Has torn my world apart

And I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how, can I go on, can I go on

Chorus

I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think, think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how, can I go on, can I go on

Chorus

After the love is gone
I must go on
I gotta be strong
After the love is gone
I can't believe it, but she's gone
But I gotta be strong
I gotta gotta gotta be, gotta gotta gotta be
Gotta gotta gotta be strong
Oh, after the love is gone....
