The night will start to fall

You'll lie awake recalling every tender thing she said

You'll think about her laugh

Her touch, her smile becomes a photograph

You can't forget

Not just yet.

You're gonna know that night

When you reach out an' she's not there

An' there's more pain than your heart can bear

Love's just a river till you've crossed it

Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong

You're alive but the reason's gone

You'll know love when you've lost it.

You'll know the taste of tears

You know you will for years, 'cause there's a treuth you can't get past

Some bridges will not burn

(Some bridges will not burn.)

But some corners must be turned so you can love again at last

And not look back.

Still until that that night

When you reach out an' she's not there

An' there's more pain than your heart can bear

Love's just a river till you've crossed it

Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong

You're alive but the reason's gone

You'll know love when you've lost it.

It's so easy to recognise

You'll know love when you've lost it...
