Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Your baby doesn't love you any more Golden days before they end Whisper secrets to the wind Your baby won't be near you any more Tender nights before they fly Send falling stars that seem to cry Your baby doesn't want you any more It's over It breaks your heart in two, to know she's been untrue But oh what will you do? When she says to you There's someone new we're through, we're through It's over, it's over, it's over All the rainbows in the sky start to even say goodbye You won't be seeing rainbows any more Setting suns before they fall, echo to you that's all that's all But you'll see lonely sunset after all It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over It's over
