(Jimmie Rodgers)

 

If time were not a moving thing

And I could make it stay

This love we shared

Would always be

There'd be no coming day

No morning light above

To make me realise our love

Is over

 

And now you walk away from me

And there's no place to put my hand

Except to shade my eyes

Against the sun that comes to warm the land

I watch you walk away somehow

I have to let you go now

It's over

 

It's too late to tell you how I feel

Our love was real

And yet, there are so many times

That people have to love and then forget

Though there might have been a way

I have to force myself to say

It's over

 

And so I walk away and turn my collar to the wind

I walk along in silence trying not to think at all

I put my feet before me

Walk the silent street before me

It's over

 

If time were not a moving thing

And I could make it stay

This love we shared would always be

There'd be no coming day

No morning light above

To make me realise our love

Is over 

 

It's over

It's over

It's over
