I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone (Buddy Johnson cover) Lyrics

<i>I, who have sat by thieves below the wall and walked among the lowest of the dead</i>

All I know is that I'm in love with you
Even though you say that we are through
I know without your love I just cant go on
I wonder where our love has gone

Always thought you'd love me more and more
Never dreamed you'd ever let me go
I know without your love I just cant go on
I wonder where our love has gone

Now what did I do, and what did I say
Never could lead you to treat me this way
If I've been untrue, I'm willing to pay
Darling, if thats not enough I'll do anything you say

So darling, please, where-ever you may be
Hear my plea, hurry home to me
I know without your love I just can't go on
I wonder where our love has gone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Great song, though pretty depressing.

Can anyone figure out the spoken part in the beginning, though? I know it's from T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland"--actually, it's Eliot himself reading from the third section, "The Fire Sermon."

Pretty sure Buddy Johnson wrote it.

@lionelhutz This is why you should make sure you're right before telling others that they're wrong. Billie Holiday also covered this, as did many high profile jazz bands.

Also the intro is "I, who have sat by Thebes below the wall and walked among the lowest of the dead", not thieves.
