The Party's Over 1956

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Sep 2004

I'm in love with a man.
But the girl that he loves isn't me.
I'll never see him again,
and that's how it has to be.

The party's over,
it's time to call it a day,
they've burst your pretty balloon
and taken the moon away.
It's time to wind up the masquerade.
Just make your mind up
the piper must be paid.
The party's over,
the candles flicker and dim.
You danced and dreamed through the night,
it seemed to be right,
just being with him.
Now you must wake up,
all dreams must end.
Take off your makeup,
the party's over,
it's all over, my friend.
