Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above, the dawn is waking
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
I may roam a thousand miles but never will I find happiness
I'm loaning your embrace (knowing love is true)
Nothing can compare be it diamonds that shine
Through these silver tears on your face
Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
For the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
Say goodbye, my own true lover
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
