Struggling with It's Over? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Summer came and passed away, Hardly seemed to last a day But it's over and what can I do Music playin' in the air, Silence on a darkened stair 'cos it's over and what can I do It's over, it's over, all over, It's all over now And the way you looked Don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea And the sun says goodbye There is nothing much to speak of. Lookin' over sunny days, Searchin' for the righteous wave 'cos it's over and what can I do Lookin' from this distant shore You ain't sailin' by no more 'cos it's over and what can I do It's over, it's over, all over, It's all over now And the way you looked Don't even mean I'm down. When you kick out the sea And the sun says goodbye There is nothing much to speak of. Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over, It's all over and what can I do? Ah, it's over, it's over, It's all over.
