Your love was the key that unlocked the door
That led me to impossible dreams
It was easy to capture the dreams I ran after
Because………

(Tough one from the 70s, but fits in with the theme, which nobody has got yet)

What do I do when lightening strikes me
And I wake up to find that you’re not there.
