Lyrics Love's Been Here and Gone - James Ingram

Love's Been Here and Gone

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
