At The End Of A Song
The Carpenters


They tell me

Somewhere this life isn't crazy

But I've traveled the world far and wide

And I say they're wrong



Don't sell me

Stories that music's a lady

It's not when the singer's alone

At the end of a song



(*) At the end of a song

There's no one

After the last note is played

Only the memory stays

Then even that fades away

And there's nothing so hard

As convincing your heart

That you should start singing again



You told me

Nothing could change perfect lovers

But like ev'ry promise you made

It broke before long



It's lonely

Falling away from each other

But we've come to the last of your words

And the end of a song



Repeat (*)
