It seems in a moment, your whole world can shatter
Like morning dreams they just disappear
Like dust in your hand falling to the floor
How can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since you’ve been gone
It’s all to easy to take so much for granted
But it’s so hard to find the words to say
Like a castle in the sand the water takes away
How can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since I’ve lost you
Ooh now you’ll never see
Ooh now you’ll never know
All the things I planned for you
Things for you and me
I held your hand so tightly
That I couldn’t let it go
Now how can life ever be the same
Cos my heart is broken in pieces
Yes my heart is broken in pieces
Since you’ve been gone
Phil Collins wrote this for Eric Clapton’s son Connor who was killed from falling off a NY apartment building at the same time Clapton wrote my FAV of his tunes “Tears in Heaven”. Phil strongly believes that Since I Lost You is the most important song on We Can’t Dance he’s written.
All we lose hurts..this song came on the radio when my beloved cat died... I had never heard it before , despite being British, and familiar with alot of Phil Collins songs...I take it as a sign...Miss her so much..I lost my dad at 18, Mum at 27..Grief is hard
