Lyrics Love is the Reason - Dorothy Fields, Arthur Schwartz, Delbert Anderson

Love is the Reason

I’ve been away, been away, been away too long
And I’ve been gone, gone twenty seven days, haven’t been so strong
I got some bad blood rushing through my veins as it rots my bones
Now the lone, lone devil on my shoulder says my love is gone
There must be something in the way, cause it won’t come back
I ain’t got one thing I could say, I could say no more
I made my way, made my way, made my way back home
I got used to living for the day, now I live alone
I could say, I’m okay, I;
m okay though I know I’m not
This heart in me has been replaced and it’s made of stone
I think you should get away, get away from me before I start to rust
Before the pain, pain, pain in my stomach turns my bones to dust
Oh, it’s such a shame, shame, shame, I complain though I know I’m wrong
Now I got nothing left to say except my love is gone
Now I got nothing left to say except my love is gone
There’s nothing wrong at all
