Lyrics
Don’t look so sadI know it’s overBut life goes onAnd this old world will keep on turningLet’s just be gladWe had some time to spend togetherThere’s no need to watch the bridgesThat were burningLay your head upon my pillowHold your warm and tender bodyClose to mineHear the whisper of the rain dropsBlowing soft against the windowAnd make believe you love meOne more timeFor the good timesI’ll get alongYou’ll find anotherAnd I’ll be hereIf you should find you ever need meDon’t say a word about tomorrowOr foreverThere’ll be time enough for sadnessWhen you leave meLay your head upon my pillowHold your warm and tender bodyClose to mineHear the whisper of the rain dropsBlowing soft against the windowAnd make believe you love meOne more time
