"I've Lost You" lyrics - MATTHEWS' SOUTHERN COMFORT

Lying by your side I watch you sleeping
And in your face the sweetness of a child
Murmuring a dream you won't recapture
Though it will haunt the corners of your mind
Oh I've lost you though you're near me
And your body still is kind
I've lost you on the journey but I can't remember where or when

Who can tell when summer turns to autumn
And who can point the moment love grows cold
Softly without pain the joy is over
Though why it's gone, we neither of us know
Oh I've lost you, oh I've lost you
I don't reach you anymore
We ought to talk it over but reason can't stand in for feeling

Six o'clock the baby will be crying
And you will stumble sleepy to the door
In the chill and sullen gray of morning
We play the parts that we have learned too well
Oh I've lost you, Oh I've lost you
Though you won't admit it's so
I've lost you on the journey but I can't remember where or when
