This is a song I wrote many years ago and wanted to record but I never could get the melody I wanted. Insert my wife Heather and VOILA – she created the melody you’re listening to here. She’s a great musician and singer!! Trevor’s banjo break here is awesome!!
Lyrics
Where Does the Love Go S. Slaughter
Elite Circuit Music
Verse 1
Where does the love go, and how does the heart know that it’s over
Will the memories still linger in my mind, or can I leave the past behind
How can I go on, though what we had is gone and ain’t returning
Will my heart grow cold, can it hold back new fires of love from burning
Chorus
I thought I’d let go and we were through
Now I don’t know when I’ll get over you
My heart can’t love again until I do
Verse 2
When will the pain end, can I just pretend that I’m not hurting
Will the tears that run down like pouring rain, never burn my eyes again
Or will I cry until, this heartache that I feel finally drowns me
Down in this hole, where my soul, full of loneliness surrounds me
