Tuneful Tuesday - The Love Is Gone from Muppets Christmas Carol

Have dug out my copy of The Muppets Christmas Carol and re-watched it (yay).

I absolutely love the song "The Love is Gone", it is soo sad yet soo deep.  I find singing it just reminds me of past loves (and lusts) and does make me wonder if my life would be any different if I had married one of them.

Out of all the tunes in the film it is the one that makes it for me (a bit like colours of the wind from Pocahontas  so in a new feature called "Tuneful Tuesday" I am sharing the lyrics and a link to a youtube clip to the song (this has been selected at random and is not sponsored or hosted by me).


If you have a song that holds memories or that you simply want to share with other people let me know, I may just feature it.

There was a time when I was sure
That you and I were truly one
That our future was forever
And would never come undone
And we came so close to being close
And Though you cared for me
There's distance in your eyes tonight
So we're not meant to be

The love is gone, the love is gone
The sweetest dream that you have ever known
The love is gone, the love is gone
I wish you well, but I must leave you now, alone

There comes a moment in your life
Like a window, and you see
Your future there before you
And how perfect life can be
But adventure calls with unknown voices
Pulling you away
Be careful or you may regret
The choice you make someday

When love is gone, when love is gone
The sweetest dream that we have ever known
When love is gone, when love is gone
I wish you well, but I must leave you now, alone

It was almost love
It was almost always
It was like a fairy tale we'd live out, you and I
And yes, some dreams come true
And yes, some dreams fall through
And yes, the time has come for us to say goodbye

Yes, some dreams come true
And yes, some dreams fall through
Yes, the time has come for us to say goodbye...........
