   Since My Love Has Gone
  (1853) Wasserman, Aaron Neville
   
  Oh I'm lonely and left with tears and sorrow
I can't face tomorrow since my love has gone
He's left me left me for another and my heart went with him
How can I go on

Was our love a game played for a day
Were you pretending two hearts gone astray
Am I to blame for this unhappy ending

Nothing else is left me but a memory
Beloved how I long to hold you in my arms enfold you
Live again out happiness but now I can face tomorrow alone
Since my love has gone
 
 
This song is based on a melody from the opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi.
Opened on March 6, 1853 at La Fenice Theater on Venice, Italy, La Traviata was the musical rendition of the book "La Dame Aux Camélias" by A. Dumas junior.
Of this melody, from Act III and known as "Addio Del Passato", is famous the rendition of Maria Callas.
