Lyrics
[Intro]
"It's Over"
[Instrumental]
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be
There'd be no coming day to shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
[Verse 1]
When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun that rises over the land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go
'Cause it's over
[Verse 2]
If you knew just how I really feel you might return and yet
There are so many times that people have to love and then forget
Oh, there might have been a way somehow
I have to force myself to say it's over
[Verse 3]
So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I set my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
Now it's over (It's over)
[Chorus]
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be
There'd be no coming day to shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over (It's over)
[Outro]
It's over, it's over
Thank you very much
