If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize
Our night is over (it's over)

When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that
Rises o'er the land

I watch you walk away
Somehow, I have to let you go
Now it's over

If you knew how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love
And then forget

Oh, there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all

I set my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over (it's over)

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize
Our night is over (it's over)
