The Party's Over Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
