Lyrics:

(Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock)


Got to find me a way

To take me back to yesterday.

How can I ever hope to forget you?



Won't you show me a place

Where I can hide my lonely face?

I know you're going to break my heart if I let you.



[Chorus:]

Why does love got to be so sad?

Why does love got to be so sad?

Why does love got to be so sad?

Why does love got to be so sad?



Like a moth to a flame,

Like a song without a name,

I've never been the same since I met you.



Like a bird on the wing,

I've got a brand new song to sing,

I can't keep from singing about you.



[Chorus]



I'm beginning to see

What a fool you've made of me.

I might have to break the law when I find you.



Stop running away;

I've got a better game to play,

You know I can't go on living without you.



[Chorus]
