The words of her promise The flame of her faith The love that would never drift away Where did they go, Lord, where did they go? You know somehow forever Slipped out of my hands And my dreams ran away with the wind Where did they go, Lord, where did they go? You know sometimes I wish I had lost her to another Well, but, Lord, she just walked off all alone But all that is within me is the bitter just ending And bewildered because her love is gone Oh, the passion I trusted The truth that I leaned on And the hope that would forever keep me strong I cry out my questions Oh, the answers are all gone Where did they go, Lord? Tell me, where did they go? Where did they go, Lord? Tell me, where did they go?
