Don't Let It End This Way Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Hates Jazz

The minutes are slipping away as we say our last goodbye 

Bid the world a fond farewell 

We'll share in a final embracement 

When the lights begin to fade it's a tale they had to tell 

I'm wiping the tears from your face 

Though I can't control myself 

God have mercy on us all 

The chapter has ended a story 

That only just begun 

First the rise and then the fall 

But don't let it end this way 

Before you can go 

There's something that I must say 

Don't let it end this way, it's too late to cry 

When winter has come to stay 

I once had a book in my hand 

That I didn't understand 

Now I witness every page 

So won't you come closer my love 

Now our time has nearly come 

Take a bow and leave the stage 

But don't let it end this way 

Before you can go 

There's something that I must say 

Don't let it end this way, it's too late to cry 

When winter has come to stay 

Now it's time to close your eyes 

But don't let it end this way 

Before you can go 

There's something that I must say 

Don't let it end this way, it's too late to cry 

When winter has come to stay 

It's too late now, it's too late now 

The minutes are slipping away 

As we say our last goodbye 

Say my last goodbye, say goodbye 

Say my last goodbye, our last goodbye
