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 she 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
