Where Did They Go Lord

The words of her promise, the flame of her faith
And the love that would never drift away
Where did they go, Lord, where did they go?
Somehow forever slipped out of my hands

And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go, Lord, where did they go?
Sometimes I wish I had left her for another
But Lord, she just walked off all alone

The heart that's within me isn't bitter, it's just empty
And bewildered because her love has 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 but the answers are gone
Where did they go, Lord, where did they go?
Oh, where did they go, Lord, where did they go?
