When Love is Gone

"When Love is Gone" is a song from the film, The Muppet Christmas Carol. It is sung by Belle (and partially joined by Scrooge), about her break-up with Ebenezer Scrooge for being more interested in money than marrying her. It is also sung by Martina McBride for the credits.
The sequence featuring "When Love Is Gone" was cut from the initial theatrical release of The Muppet Christmas Carol at Jeffrey Katzenberg's request due to negative test audience reactions, but it has been restored for most subsequent home video, DVD and television versions of the film as well as a few screenings of the UK theatrical re-release. The song was included on the UK VHS release of the film, but it was cut from the subsequent DVD release. The melody of the song can be heard in the score.
It was announced at the D23 Expo that the song will be in a restored version of the movie that premiered on Disney+ in December. Despite this, Disney+ only contains the theatrical version of the film which omits this song, with the song released separately as the film's bonus feature. https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/video/8a912b90-64cd-4a30-9ab6-c328b95ca114
==Lyrics ==
:There was a time when I sure
:That you and I were truly one
:That our future was forever
:And would never come undone
:And we came so close to being close
:And though you cared for me
:There's distance in your eyes tonight
:So we're not meant to be
:
:
:The love is gone, the love is gone
:The sweetest dream that you have ever known
:The love is gone, the love is gone
:I wish you well, but I must leave you now alone
:
:
:There comes a moment in your life
:Like a window and you see
:Your future there before you
:And how perfect life can be
:But adventure calls with unknown voices
:Pulling you away
:Be careful or you may regret
:The choice you make someday
:
:
:When love is gone, when love is gone
:The sweetest dream that we have ever known
:When love is gone, when love is gone
:I wish you well, but I must leave you now alone
:
:
:It was almost love
:It was almost always
:It was like a fairy tale
:Would live out you and I
:
:
:[Repeat 2x]
:
:
:And yes some dreams come true
:And yes some dreams fall through
:And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
