Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
You seem so far away, though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it out, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
