Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
That were burning
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time
For the good times
I'll get along
You'll find another
And I'll be here
If you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow
Or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
When you leave me
Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Close to mine
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me
One more time

Don't look so sad
Don't show your sadness
I know it's over
I understand that our relationship is finished
But life goes on
Life continues, with or without us
And this old world will keep on turning
The world will continue to move forward, regardless of our situation
Let's just be glad
We should focus on the positive memories we shared
We had some time to spend together
We were fortunate enough to have shared some moments
There's no need to watch the bridges
We don't need to keep an eye on what we've burned behind us
That were burning
That we've lit up in the past
Lay your head upon my pillow
Rest your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body
Embrace your soft and caring body
Close to mine
Near to me
Hear the whisper of the rain drops
Listen to the soft sound of the rain drops
Blowing soft against the window
Blowing gently on the windowpane
And make believe you love me
Pretend that you still love me
One more time
One last time
For the good times
For the happy memories
I'll get along
I'll manage without you
You'll find another
You'll move on and find someone else
And I'll be here
I'll still be around
If you should find you ever need me
If you ever need me, I'll be here for you
Don't say a word about tomorrow
Let's not talk about what's to come
Or forever
Or what could last forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
We'll have enough time to be sad later
When you leave me
When you eventually move away from me
