What Now My Love
Frank Sinatra
Music written in 1962 by Gilbert Becaud (as "Et Maintenant")
with French lyrics by P. Delanoe
English lyrics by Carl Sigman
from the album Softly As I Leave You-Reprise CD 1013-2
What now my love, now that you've left me ?
How can I live, live through another day ?
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
A-and my hopes turn into bits of clay
Once I could see, once I could feel
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
I walk the night without a goal
Stripped of my heart my soul
What now my love, now that it's over?
I feel the world, it's closin' in on me
Here come the stars tumbling around me
There's the sky, where that sea should be
What now my love, now that you've gone?
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If I should live, if I should live or die
What now my love (what now my love)
Now there is nothing (now there is nothing)
Only my last (only my last) my last good-bye
(What now, my love)
Bye-bye
