From the 1962 LP album "What Now My Love?" (KAPP-1296)
The melody comes from the French song "Et Maintenant"
Music: Gilbert Becaud (arranged by Burt Bacharach)
English lyrics: Carl Sigman
"What now, my love?
Now that you left me,
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turning to ashes,
And my hopes into bits of clay.
Once I could see, once I could feel,
Now I'm a numb,
I've become unreal.
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul.
What now, my love?
Now that it's over
I feel the world closing in on me.
Here comes the stars
Tumbling around me.
There's the sky where the sea should be.
What now, my love?
Now that you're gone,
I'd be a fool to go on and on.
No one would care, no one would cry,
If I should live or die.
What now, my love?
Now there is nothing,
Only my last goodbye."
