Lyrics

(T. Springfield, F. Farian)

Say goodbye, my one true lover

And we'll steal a lover's song

How it breaks my heart to leave you

Now the carnival has gone

Oh my love, the dawn is breaking

And my tears are falling rain

For the carnival is over

We may never meet again

Like a drum my heart was beating

And your kiss was sweet as wine

But the joys of love are fleeting

For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the cloak of night is falling

This will be our last goodbye

Though the carnival is over

I will love you till I die
