Earth, Wind And Fire - You Went Away Lyrics






How can you explain that we're apart
When all we've known is being together
Time had made our love a work of art
So sure we were, that nothing could change us
The dreams we thought tomorrow would bring us,
were fading away

Oh you reassured hope and I believed
that never would our promise be broken
And now I question what is yet to be
When all is left of me is a token
of dreams we use to build upon each day
But you wouldn't stay

You don't know the very best part of me
You don't know cause you went away
I can't believe you want no part of me
(Ever) since you went away, there's
nothing quite
the same in my life

I may be shaken by the night
But I know the truth will never mislead me
I have the love, I have my life
And even with your memories beside me
I know the strength inside me
Will guide me all of the way

    To all Funkmasters: How many of you got goosebumps when you were in the "zone" and doing the riffs on this cut? I had to put my bass down for a minute. That's how intense I felt it was. The law of playing Funk...If you don't feel it you ain't doing it right.

  31. J.... F....

    Philip Bailey teddy Mills and Emanuel Johnson greatest falsettos of all time

    J.... F....

    Falsetto ? Sounds natural to me

    J.... F....

    Don't forget about Russell Tompkins the stylistics

    J.... F....

    Eddie Kendricks???

  32. D.... k....

    Why does the great EWF, sound like Barry Manilow, or the frickin' BeeGee's, on this track?? No, wonder Al McKay left the band around this x.

    D.... k....

    Dr. killpatient ...???????? Explain.

    D.... k....

    Satan's Hitman Dr. Kill patient was a character on an old 60' s tv show called," The Flintstones," a play on Dr. Kildare," a big program on- 1 st. radio, than television. From, the 1930' s- 1980' s. It' s a very, very old joke. If u meant the song- don' t get me wrong it is well produced, but overly done at that. 1/2 written, kind of dull & reminiscent of MOR music of that generation. We used 2 call this, " elevator muzick",. ( I. E. Manilow, BeeGees, 10cc, Bread, Barbra Streisand, Olivia Newton John, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, et.) A far cry from the dazzling repertoire of EWF ballad' s assembled from their debut until, "Faces". Faces," felt like not only a let- down, but a hole, & a vacuum in pop music history.like seeing Babe Ruth take the bat 4 one final X & he singled out the one last x at bat. It took years, & years, & years 2 get over the catastrophe that was," Faces". A more or less " cash grab", effort by the once venerable band. Like, the bulk of their material after, " I AM." ( they" sold- out," son!)

    D.... k....

    The band's wanted try something new it's a new decade change was inevitable and for that result Al McKay and some of the phenix horns started to clash with maurice's new direction new host of songwriters and Jerry Hey.
    The band were so big that it bacame impossible to enjoy the additional instrumentals (big orchestra backing band gone to waste since you can barely hear them on most of the album) with only stereo sound.
    This to me was them testing waters and explore what's work and what doesn't but they have to threw it all away because of record label pressured them to make a hit record the result was Raise! album.
    Still one of the most unique sounding album they ever produced.

    D.... k....

    Luckily thats just your opinion Dr.killpatient ! Its obvious that you have not released ANY music to be desired .

    D.... k....

    This is one of most beautiful songs ever written... Reminds me of my departed father.. I'm shaking my head over your opinion..

  33. S.... T....

    I loved this album as a kid, just for the music. Now as an adult fighting heartbreak, these lyrics carry such weight...

  34. V.... M....

    "Faces" was the best EWF recording, every song told a story and the entire group was intact.

    V.... M....

    I agree wholeheartedly ❤🔥

    V.... M....

    Most of there songs did that!!!!

    V.... M....

    @Kirk Cloud true hey; their songs are deep🌟

  35. E.... F....
