The night will start to fall, you'll lie awake   Recalling every tender thing she said   You'll think about her laugh, her touch, her smile   Becomes a photograph you can't forget, not just yet      You're gonna know that night   When you reach out and she's not there   And there's more pain than your heart can bear   Love's just a river till you've crossed it      Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong   You're alive but the reason's gone   You'll know love when you've lost it      You'll know the taste of tears, you know you will   For years 'cause there's a truth you can't get past   Some bridges will not burn but some corners must   Be turned, so you can love again at last and not look back      Still until that that night   When you reach out and she's not there   And there's more pain than your heart can bear   Love's just a river till you've crossed it      Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong   You're alive but the reason's gone   You'll know love when you've lost it      It's so easy to recognize   You'll know love when you've lost it
