Lying by your side i watch you sleepin'
And in your face the sweetness of a child
Murmuring a dream you won't recapture
Though it will haunt the corners of your mind

Oh, I've lost you, yes oh, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Oh, who can tell when summer turns to autumn
And who can point the moment love grows cold
Softly without pain the joy is over
Though why its gone we neither of us know

Oh, I've lost you, yes oh, I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

Oh, I've lost you, yes I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling,

Six o'clock, the baby will be crying
And you will stumble sleeping to the door
In the chill and sullen grey of morning
We play the parts that we have learned too well

Oh, I've lost you, yes I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling,

Oh, I've lost you, yes I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling,

Oh, I've lost you, yes I've lost you
I can't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over now
But reason can't stand in for feeling, oh

I've [C]lost you on the journey but I [D7]can't remember where or when.
[G]Who can tell when [D/F#]summer turns to [Em]autumn[Em/D]
and who can [C]point the [C/B]moment [Am7]love grows [D7sus4]cold?[D7]
