Love's Been Here and Gone - James Ingram

The phantom trace of her perfume

Whispers through each empty room

A photograph still lies in pieces on the floor

And what’s more

This cigarette with lipstick stains

That half filled glass of stale champagne

They’re where she left them

Right where she set them down

There’s proof all around

Love’s been here and gone, you can see it

Love’s been here and it’s gone away

These souvenirs bring back the best of yesterday

Hangin' on the closet door

Is that silky thing that the girl always wore

She left it behind her

Now it’s a reminder to me

Of what we used to be

Love’s been here and gone, you can see it

Love’s been here and it’s gone away

These souvenirs bring back the best of yesterday

Bye bye

Baby, don’t leave me

Bye bye

I need you, baby

Now I swear I can’t even make it

Make sense

But this broken heart is evidence

Love’s been here and gone, you can see it

Love’s been here and it’s gone away

These souvenirs bring back the best of yesterday

Harmony is gone, gone forever

She was here but the girl

The girl would not stay, no no

How can I go on, how can I carry on

Love’s been here and gone away

Hey baby, hang on

I want to know where you are, oh my lady

I want to know

Where did the love go
