Don't Let It End This Way

Don't Let It End This Way

The minutes are slipping away
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

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

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

Now it's time to close your eyes

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
