Album Cover It's Over

It's Over

Rod Stewart

8

The congregation sang

We knelt and prayed

As we stood before GodOn that beautiful day

Church bells rang

And the champagne flowed

As our friends gathered ′round

For the wedding photo

But here we are, barely five years on

And our whole world's falling apart

All the plans we had together

Up in smoke and gone forever

Poisoned by a lawyer′s letter

It's over

I don't want our kids to suffer

Can we talk to one another?

You were once my wife, my lover

It′s over

Rumours and whispers tear me apart

But I know you better than that

Inseparable were we

With a breeze in our sails

Now I feel a chilled wind

On the marriage that fell

And our friends are divided

They′ve taken their sides

Now they'll all sit back

And watch the circus unwind

I don′t stand here trying to focus the blame

But I'm hurting deep down inside

All the pain and all the grieving

When did we stop believing?

Too late now to stop the bleeding

It′s over

What's the sense in pointing fingers?

Who′s the saint and who's the sinner?

There ain't gonna be a winner

It′s over

Oh, my dear, what happened to us?

Tell me, where did it all go wrong?

What′s the use in keep on fighting?

All the tears, all the crying

Why do we keep denying?

It's over

In all the time I thought I knew ya

Don′t forget our children's future

I would do whatever suits ya

Oh, yeah

It′s over

It's over

Yeah, it′s over
