It's the beginning of the end, or just the end of the 
beginning, now pending
Restless, hear my words are bouncing back; it seems 
they found no home
I'm still here (I'm still here) after all those years 
(play that song just one more time)
Walk away with dignity and we'll remember what it used 
to be, so proud and free
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back 
memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memory your face, my love

Is this the time of grand delusion, war and endless 
fights?
I watch them all from here; you know it's killing me
Now there's a new pope every year and borders don't 
hold true
(Take me back in time) What's an honest man to do?
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back 
memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memory your face, my love
Play that song just one more time

Time and place for everyone under the sun
Time and place for everyone under the sun

Play that song just one more time

It's the beginning of the end, or just the end of no 
beginning

Now no more words from this old pen, and no more speech 
to follow
Said and done, now fast approach the 1900
One last round: a toast to us
I won't look back, now change, we must move on, and the 
train's rolling home
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back 
memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memories your face, my love
Play that song just one more time

Time and place for everyone under the sun
Time and place for everyone under the sun
