Music by Kris Anderson
It’s Over
sunshine could not match your first smile
when I longed for you to hold me
now I spend each tear-stained night
wondering why you have not told me
it’s over
the thoughtless rain falls yet unceased
the wind can’t chase dark clouds away
the leaves won’t grow on barren trees
perhaps they too need you to say
it’s over
silver stars have lost their twinkle
golden moonbeam’s light is duller
gay butterflies are painted grey
even rainbows have no colour
it’s over
each cold minute of each cold day
my heart breaks because I love you
the snowflakes shiver through my soul
they can’t stop me thinking of you
but I know it’s over
