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 find
|
|
If looks could kill
|
This mirror would do
|
Only 'cause I don't have you
|
|
Later on good wishes
|
Later on good try
|
I'm afraid won't do
|
It's not justified
|
You go from the privy
|
And you end up deprived
|
On top of the world
|
But still there's no view
|
Only 'cause I don't have you
|
|
Not 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 it
|
|
Don't bother with ovations
|
Leave off the fanfare
|
Let the candles melt down
|
Till the smoke's all that's there
|
Leave 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 you
|
