Days of devils, kings and clowns Angel songs and birthday tunes Valentines and wishing wells Magic stairways, moods, and Junes Silly rhymes and monkeyshines Pictures on a stage Round and round the records go Time to turn the page This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way to say good-bye Misty faces, far off places Came and danced across the stage Sha na na's and doo be down's The sounds that chased away the blues Yesterday is yesterday The past is dead and gone Nostalgia just gets in the way Let's stop hanging on This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way to say good-bye Now we go our separate ways And the world we used to know Scratchy worn out 45's An echo on the radio Tra la days are over now Those days of you and me Now we know that breaking up is Really hard to do This will be our last song together Words will only make us cry This will be our last song together There's no other way to say good-bye
