When You Took Your Love Away



Like a sudden thunderstorm
On a bright sunny day
That's how I felt
When you took your love away
Like the beautiful bright moon
On a clear, cool night
When the big dark cloud blocks
The wonderful glow
That's how I felt
When you took your love away
Alone in a room full of people
That's how I felt
Whenever we were apart
Now I feel as though I am lost in the world
I feel as though you took away my heart
When you took your love away
