When we were together
Those were the happiest time in all my life
Now we're separated
I don't know what I will do

'Cause I can't love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realise, my love
That you were wrong

'Cause I can't love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

The sunset outside my window
Has lost all it's glow
The rose in the garden, my love
Doesn't bloom any more

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realise, my love
That you were wrong

'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible

The sunset outside my window
Has lost all it's glow
The rose in the garden, my love
Doesn't bloom any more

Wherever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
Then maybe you'll realise, my love
That you were wrong

'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how I try
'Cause I know, it's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
