Love=Sadness?

A (sort-of) friend said that romance and sadness "walk together." So here are some depressingly romantic lyrics from the mix I'm listening to right now...

Barely Here by Claude Bareau & his Orchestra featuring Bonnie Bailey

Never really said goodbye...
Sort of faded like a sad dream into the moonrise.
Slipping away... fading out of sight.
Nothing but my shadow to be with me tonight.

Barely here,
Your voice, your eyes, your hands...
Only memories and tears.

Barely here,
Further away tomorrow,
Miss you, wish you were near.

Suppose I will let go in time...
At least I got to feel love
once in my life.

To sleep the sweetest sleep in your arms...
How will I accept it?
This time you're really gone.

Barely here...
Your voice, your eyes, your hands...
only memories and tears.

Barely here...
Further away tomorrow,
Miss you, wish you were near.

Barely here...
Your voice, your eyes, your hands...
only memories and tears.

Barely here...
Further away tomorrow,
Miss you, wish you were near...
