Carpenters, The - When It's Gone (It's Just Gone) Lyrics
Where's the word for the sadness
Where's the poetry in the pain
Where's the color in the stain where the tears fallen
It's gone, it's just gone.
As we create the suffering
And we do each other in and we still hold on
But it's gone, it's just gone
[Bridge:]
He says it's gone
And he can't go on living a memory
Mulling it over endlessly
Whey is that so hear for me to see
He says it's gone
And when he cries, I know it's over
But I may never know why.
There's no face in the locket
There's no play for the past
I'll put it back in my pocket
It was never meant to last
It's just gone.
[repeat bridge]
There's no word for the sadness
There's no poetry in the pain
There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen
It's gone, it's just gone
It's gone, it's just gone
Well, it's gone.

Carpenters, The When It's Gone (It's Just Gone) Comments
Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, rest in peace Karen Carpenter.
So so so sweet!
remember the twins tower in the night.
i had lost many connections time after time.
One of my favourite Carpenters recordings. I don't mind that so many people fail to take Richard and Karen Carpenter's work seriously; leaves room for those who are interested to explore without the hype.
Where's the word for the sadness
Where's the poetry in the pain
Where's the color in the stain where the tears have fallen
It's gone, it's just gone
Where's the method to this madness
As we create this suffering
And we do each other in and we still hold on
But it's gone, it's just gone
He says it's gone
And he can't go on a living a memory
Mulling it over endlessly
Why is that so hard for me to see
He says it's gone
And he can't go on trying to live a lie
And when he cries, I know it's over
But I may never know why
There's no face in the locket
There's no place for the past
I'll put it back in my pocket
It was never meant to last
It's just gone
He says it's gone
And he can't go on a living a memory
Mulling it over endlessly
Why is that so hard for me to see
He says it's gone
And he can't go on trying to live a lie
And when he cries, I know it's over
But I may never know why
There's no word for the sadness
There's no poetry in the pain
There's no color in the stain where the tears have fallen
It's gone, it's just gone
It's gone, it's just gone
Well, it's gone
Crikey! Chills Every Single Flippin' Time...😮
One of The Greatest Voices in the Genre of Pop. Beyond Brilliant, The Tone, Technique, Chest Voice I Could Go On... 😊
My personal feeling about this wonderful song is that when we loose somebody very special to our hearts the pain may be unbearable but time will eventually make us accept that. Like the song itself WHEN IT'S GONE, IT'S JUST GONE! This is one of my favorite songs by Karen. Her voice will make you cry in a moment
Sing on with the Angles my beautiful Lady
This reminds me of the passing of Karen Carpenter who's legend that we have lost. So this part of the brother sister team is really gone now, but now brother Richard has gotten on with his life and is now married to a new wife and now has five children and is not alone and is now very happy with his new life. I only wish that his sister Karen. An share in this and having areal family as well. R.I.P Karen
my wish as well........may peace joy and contentment be with you KC
This song would also be her last recorded drum track, in tandem with Larry Lodin.
You're right about that. She hadn't played drums on any Carpenters albums since their Horizon album.
lindo tema...!!!!!
My favorite of theirs - subtle, heartbreaking and proof less can be more. Stunning.
Made in America is a masterpiece . Its long been overdue to credit Richard for his genius in production and arrangement . The Carpenters were a team . A once in forever pairing of supreme talent . when you compare the weak songs and poor production given by Phil Ramone to Karen on her solo project to the wonderful timeless polish of Made in America you immediately realise why A&M records and Richard did not wish to release her solo album . there are perhaps two good tracks nothing more and Phil Ramone should have been ashamed of his work.
Well, maybe not ashamed. He just didn't know how to highlight Karen's unique voice the way Richard did.
I liked her solo effort, I just see it as different.
Simply the best female pop singer of all time......
I Cannot & Would Never Argue That. 👍
so beautiful and melancholy, and how i love love the whole song, but especially from the 3: 55 moment to the last ethereally singing of the word "gone"....my favorite singer and will always be...
I miss you Karen :(
so do millions of us........rest in peace KC
COMO ALGUEM PODE CANTAR IGUAL A ESSA MULHER ! ESSA VOZ VEM DE DENTRO , DE ONDE NAO SABEMOS , E ELA SE FOI APENAS SE FOI !
Among her most brilliant performances. So detailed (like fine lace) so deep, so tragic, so weary. She isn't just singing the song; she is living it as she sings it. The arrangement is brilliant and Richard's guiding hand is plainly evident.
That's what give's it the poignancy and the chill up your spine.
I could not define your post better than you did;one of the few female singers which can sing their song from the heart and soul..
Love Your Comment. Completely Spot On 👍
The voice of an Angel .....period
Fantasticpuregoldsinger
I love the arrangement to this song...the strings and the steel guitar...sends chills up and down my spine...
how sad that so few people have heard this song, which is one of the most beautiful ever sung by the legendary Karen Carpenter
A song for a few sentimental people. I love it
Agreed. This is what singers and musicians aspire to. I am certainly no exception this is a rare, exceptional masterpiece. R.I.P Ms Carpenter. Gone Way Too Soon 😞
wonderful song.brings back beautiful memories of my childhood.It also reminds me of my late granmother and my loved ones
