[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
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

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
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?

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
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?

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
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? (When you're gone)

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
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? (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, carry on)
