Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you had closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone (When you're gone)
How can I even try to go on?
