Essence Of Your Love

Though you've gone away from me
The essence of your love I still can feel it
But there's an aching in my heart that
No amount of time is gonna heal it
And so sometimes I wander why when
Love would come around I'd deny me
And so I'd tell myself just what a fool i've
Been for letting your love slip by me.

Now alone with memories on lilac
Peddles on a welted flower
And with my thoughts to keep me company
And help me pass away the lonely hours
I never could give you the things a man should
Give to a woman, a woman like you
But the essence of your love will stay with me
My whole life through, Well you know it will.

Now alone with memories on lilac peddles
On a welted flower
And with my thoughts to keep me company
And help me pass away the lonely hours
I could not give you all the things a man should
Give to a woman, like you
But the essence of your love will stay with me
My whole life through, my whole life through
My whole life through.
