The party's over now, the dawn is drawing very nigh,
The candles gutter, the starlight leaves the sky
It's time for little boys and girls to hurry home to bed,
For there's a new day waiting just ahead.

Life is sweet,
But time is fleet
beneath the magic of the moon.
Dancing time
May seem sublime,
But it ended all too soon.

The thrill has gone,
To linger on
Would spoil it anyhow
Let's creep away
From the day,
For the party's over now.

Night is over, dawn is breaking,
Everywhere the town is waking,
Just as we are on our way to sleep.
Lovers meet and dance a little,
Snatching from romance a little
Souvenir of happiness to keep.

The music of an hour ago
Was just a sort of ""Let's pretend!"",
The melodies that charmed us so
At last are ended.

The party's over now, the dawn is drawing very nigh,
The candles gutter, the starlight leaves the sky
It's time for little boys and girls to hurry home to bed,
For there's a new day waiting just ahead.

Life is sweet,
But time is fleet
beneath the magic of the moon.
Dancing time
May seem sublime,
But it ended all too soon.

The thrill has gone,
To linger on
Would spoil it anyhow
Let's creep away
From the day,
For the party's over now.
