Johnny Hates Jazz - Don't Let It End This Way lyrics

As we say our last goodbye

Bid the world a fond farewell

We'll share in a final embrace

When the lights begin to fade

It's a tale they had to tell

I'm wiping the tears from your face

Though I can't control myself

God have mercy on us all

The chapter has ended a story

That only just begun

First the rise and then the fall

(Chorus)

But don't let it end this way

Before you can go

There's something that I must say

Don't let it end this way

It's too late to cry

When winter has come to stay

I once had a book in my hand

That I didn't understand

Now I witness every page

So won't you come closer my love

Now our time has nearly come

Take a bow and leave the stage

(Chorus)

Now it's time to close your eyes

(Chorus
