Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the laughter ceased?

[Chorus 1]
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Bridge]
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of man
To drink it is to follow the left hand path

[Chorus 2]
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Chorus 3]
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time

[Outro]
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is it the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth and dust, and a dark silent grave
Remember my child - without innocence the cross is only iron
Hope is only an illusion and ocean soul's - nothing but a name
The child bless thee and keep thee forever

Tarja, Jukka, Marko... old Nightwish forever in my heart ❤

[AntonioElfHumback]

Tarja was and still is one of the best female singers ever, her voice is breathtaking !

[peroroncevic]

Tarja this kind of vocal is born one in 100 years....

[rosanavas]

I love Nightwish. I miss Tarja in the group, for me, her voice is unwavering and magical.

[danielfranco]

Tarja is extremely the most beautiful gothic.... the old Nightwish was epic

[IsaUrahara]

Tarja sounds and looks like some kind of celestial being here, I'm so in love!

[mattluck]

Young Nightwish. They were great. Current Nightwish is also great. But Tarja was/is so gorgeous.

[jduvall]

Tarja was the best. Every singer was and is good. The writing of lyrics to Nightwish songs is one of a kind

[leandromusashi]

If you saw it, you saw it! Tarja’s era was unique! The best singer Nightwish’s ever had.

[kaizenkandojo.]

Tarja the heart and soul of Nightwish songs for alltime. Magical, immortall voice.

[micktaze]

The talent in this ENTIRE band is at the top of the charts!!!

[michaelakrock]

I really miss Tarja!!! Great great song!

[cassandrarose]

Unbelievable. Being here in 2021, and I'm recalling falling asleep as an 8 year old to this band, this song. They're so young here. Damn, when did I get old? 🤦‍♀️Song has aged better than I did 😅

[carlasker]

I met the band in 2004, they played two shows on the Once Tour in Stockholm. This era of Nightwish in unsurpassed in beauty.

[gleycea.]

Há 20 anos eu via esse clipe pela primeira vez e, até hoje, eu continuo a me arrepiar... ❤️

[Serena_theSpiritualart]

Love Tarja and her spirituality 🙏🏻
God bless her 🙏🏻💫

[JohnWins]

Century Child is a classic album :) Remember Tarja, but long live to Nightwish!

[Arrozitstay]

AMO el estilo gótico que Tarja había implementado en esa época, la pionera del metal sinfónico ❤️ Magia pura es está canción 🤘

[TheNostorian]

When nightwish was still nightwish. Today it just feels like they are their own coverband with the amount of artists that have been replaced.
