After the Love Has Gone Lyrics

For a while, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night somethin' right
Would invite us to begin the dance

Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had

And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found

For a while, to love each other with all
We would ever need love, was strong for so long
Never knew that what was wrong, oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had till sadness was all we shared
We were scared, this affair would lead our love into
Somethin' happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad

Somethin' happened along the way
Oh, yesterday was all we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, woah, woah, after the love has gone

What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh, woah, woah, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong

Can love that's lost be found
Oh, woah, woah
Oh, woah, woah, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woah, woah, woah, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woah, woah woah

Earth, Wind & Fire is an American funk band, formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1969. Led by Maurice White, they are best known for their hits of the 1970s, among them "After the Love Has Gone", "September," "Reasons," "Fantasy" and "Shining Star."

Earth, Wind & Fire became the first black performers to headline throughout the world without an opening act, to receive Madison Square Garden's Gold Ticket Award for selling more than 100,000 tickets and to receive the Columbia Records Crystal Globe Award for selling more than five million albums in foreign markets. They have gained the BET's Lifetime Achievement Award and ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Heritage Award.

EW&F was disbanded in 1983, but in 1987 CBS Records convinced Philip Bailey and Maurice White to reunite the group.

The group managed to continue into the 90's with releases such as "Heritage","Millennium",and "In the Name of Love " in 1997. However, due to Parkinson's Disease, Maurice retired from the road but still continued to produce and sing on the group's recordings.

In 2000, the original '70s edition of Earth, Wind & Fire reunited for one night only in honor of their induction into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. The documentary entitled 'Earth, Wind & Fire: Shining Stars', which contains rarely seen historic video footage along with in-depth interviews with the band members was released in 2001

While not as prolific as in their '70's heyday, Earth, Wind & Fire released "The Promise" in 2003 and the criticially acclaimed "Illumination", which featured current contemporary r& b guests such as Will I Am, Rafael Saddiq, and Brian McKnight. A very successful tour in 2007 and DVD release, paired the group with former Columbia label mates, Chicago.

While still touring, Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson, and Maurice's brother, bassist Verdine White, remain as the group's only original members.

Maurice White died on Wednesday 3rd February 2016 at his home in Los Angeles. White, who was 74, suffered from Parkinson's Disease and had retreated from the public even as the band he founded kept performing. Read more on Last.fm.
