Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you I can't reach you anymore We ought to talk it over now But reason can't stand in for feeling. Who can tell when summer turns to autumn And who can point the moment love grows cold? Softly, without pain the joy is over Though why it's gone will neither of us know. Oh, I've lost you yes, I've lost you I can't reach you anymore We ought to talk it over now But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh. I've lost you, yes, I've lost you I can't reach you anymore We ought to talk it over now But reason can't stand in for feeling. Six o'clock the baby will be crying And you will stumble sleeping to the door In the chill and sullen gray of morning We play the parts that we have learned to well. Oh, I've lost you, yes, I've lost you I can't reach you anymore We ought to talk it over now But reason can't stand in for feeling. I've lost you, yes, I've lost you I can't reach you anymore We ought to talk it over now But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh.
