What Now, My Love
Words & Music by Pierre Delanoe & Gilbert BecaudEnglish lyrics by Carl Sigman
Recorded by Jane Morgan, 1962 (Instrumental version also recorded by Herb Alpert, 1966)
Em7 G/B A7sus4 D G D Em G D
What now, my love? Now that you've left me,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 Em7 A7 D G D
How can I live through another day,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 D G D Em G D
Watch-ing my dreams turn into ash-es,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 Em7 A7 D DM7 D7
And my hopes into bits of clay?
G G/F# Em7 A7 F#m Bm
Once I could see, once I could feel;
G G/F# A7sus4 - A7 D DM7 D7
Now I'm numb, I've become unreal.
Gm A7 F#m Bm
I walk the night without a goal,
G G+7 G6 Em7 A7sus4 - A7
Stripped of my heart, my soul.
Em7 A7sus4 D G D Em G D
What now, my love? Now that it's o-ver,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 Em7 A7 D G D
I feel the world closing in on me.
Em7 G/B A7sus4 D G D Em G D
Here come the stars tumbling around me,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 A7 D DM7 D7
And there's the sky where the sea should be.
G G/F# Em7 A7 F#m Bm
What now, my love? Now that you're gone,
G G/F# A7sus4 - A7 D DM7 D7
I'd be a fool to car - ry on;
Gm A7 F#m Bm
No one would care, no one would cry
G G+7 G6 Em7 A7sus4 A7
If I should live or die.
Coda:
Em7 G/B A7sus4 D G D Em G D
What now, my love? Now there is noth-ing,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 Em7 A7 D G D
On - ly my last good-bye.
