Lyric
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I try 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 seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, 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?
