Don`t Let It End This Way — текст песни (Johnny Hates Jazz)

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
(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)
