Love Gone By Try your best to see through the confusion Seems the more you see the less you try You don

Love Gone By

This song is on Dan Fogelberg's "Nether Lands" album released May 1977-This was the 2nd album of Dan's that I bought-I now have this CD
The album title is a play on Nederland, Colorado, the location of one of the studios used to record the album
I have shown you pictures of me wearing a Dan Fogelberg "Nether Lands" hat and shirt
On Friday November 4,1977 I saw Dan Fogelberg and his band on the "Nether Lands" tour at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona

Try your best to see through the confusion
Seems the more you see the less you try
You don't know what's real and what's illusion
If you don't know by now then how should I

And I've been thinking 'bout the love gone by
Honey, has the well run dry
Oh, it's enough to make you cry
Thinking 'bout the love gone by

Give me back my heart and call it even
Ain't no use in figuring who's to blame
Once I thought this love was made in heaven
Now I think it's just a crying shame

And I've been thinking 'bout the love gone by
Honey, has the well run dry
Oh, it's enough to make you cry
Thinking 'bout the love gone by

Winners never know the worth of losing
'Til the prize has slipped right through their hands
Love will take a heart of its own choosing
And break it if you try to understand

We're left with nothing but the love gone by
Honey, has the well run dry
Oh, it's enough to make you cry
Thinking 'bout the love gone by
