[Verse 1]
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you are gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you are gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there

[Verse 2]
You closed the door to your heart, girl
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me

[Verse 3]
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you are gone
You made me love you
And oh my darling, now you are gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came
Into my heart
You turned and you walked
Just walked away

[Verse 4]
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then you took my hope
Look at me now

[Verse 5]
Look at me
See what loving has done to me
Look at my face
See how crying has left its trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I could not keep

[Verse 6]
My heart cries out for your touch
But baby, you are not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air

[Outro]
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you are gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you are gone
You made me love you
Oh oh my darling, now you are gone
Talking about love, love, love, love
Ooh ooh my darling, now you are gone

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
