Turn off the music, take down the signs
Pack up the boxes, put away the wine
No toast for the future
No reward for the findIf looks could kill
This mirror would do
Only 'cause I don't have youDon't bother with ovations
Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down
Till the smoke's all that's thereLeave the veil in place, a tear, la mer
I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause I don't have youNot built on a wisp or whim
Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb
If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare I've paid itLater on good wishes
Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do
It's not justified, you go from the privyAnd you end up deprived
On top of the world
But still there's no view
Only 'cause I don't have you
Enjoy the lyrics !!!
