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 yetYou're gonna know that night
When you reach out and she's not there
And there's more pain than your heart can bear
Love's just a river till you've crossed itSuddenly everything in your life feels wrong
You're alive but the reason's gone
You'll know love when you've lost itYou'll know the taste of tears, you know you will
For years 'cause there's a truth you can't get past
Some bridges will not burn but some corners must
Be turned, so you can love again at last and not look backStill until that that night
When you reach out and she's not there
And there's more pain than your heart can bear
Love's just a river till you've crossed itSuddenly everything in your life feels wrong
You're alive but the reason's gone
You'll know love when you've lost itIt's so easy to recognize
You'll know love when you've lost it
