WHEN YOU LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE
(Rodd Arden / Jimmy Harper / Don Pelosi)

David Whitfield – 1955


When you lose the one you love
How lonely life can be
With just the memory
Those loving souvenirs
Will only bring you tears
When you lose the one you love

Friends may smile at you and say
That time can heal your pain
You'll fall in love again
But in your heart you know
It never can be so
When you lose the one you love

There was someone dear to me
I lost through jealousy
Now we're apart
So will you take heed my friend
A million tears won't mend
A broken heart

Just close your eyes to jealousy
And if you love her so
Don't ever let her go
Because I know, my friend,
Your happiness will end
When you lose the one you love.
