(Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock)

Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How could I ever hope to forget you?

Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
You're only going to break my heart if I let you.

  Why does love got to be so sad?
  Why does love got to be so sad?
  Why does love got to be so sad?
  Why does love got to be so sad?

Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
I've never been the same since I met you.

Like a bird on a wing,
Got a brand new song to sing,
I can't keep on singing about you.

  Chorus

I can plainly see
What a fool you've made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.

Stop running away;
I've got a better game to play,
Though I can't go on living without you.

  Chorus
