| It’s all over now, no more summers in heaven
|
| After World War Two wed and a life of ups and downs
|
| I see it now, precious even on paper
|
| A young man and his bride and someone to make time stand still
|
| But now I know and I don’t want to believe it
|
| Where does it leave you now
|
| That the precious years are gone
|
| All things remain to ignore and outlive you
|
| From the man in the moon to the green hills outside your door
|
| Alone you came so alone you must go now
|
| There’s no mountain on earth can ever outlive your soul
|
| But now I know and I don’t want to believe it
|
| Where does it leave you now
|
| That the precious years are gone
|
| But now I know and I don’t want to believe it
|
| Where does it leave you now
|
| That the precious years are gone
|
| I know you well, you’ll be nothing but grateful
|
| Never let it be said they were spent in thoughtless ways
|
| Warm winds blow 'cross the ties that bind forever
|
| For a place in the sun and for the hearts of love a home
|
| But now I know and I don’t want to believe it
|
| Where does it leave you now
|
| That the precious years are gone
|
| But now I know and I don’t want to believe it
|
| Where does it leave you now
|
| That the precious years are gone |
