It's Not Over
Dan Gautreau & Tom Howe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the sun sets, the darkness brings you fear.
I'll scare the shadows and make them disappear.

Hey now, hey now, reach inside.
Hey now, hey now, we can go (life?)
Hey now, hey now, I'll stand by you.
Hey now, hey now, let's see this through.
It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.
It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.

And though it feels like the world is crashing down.
But when you look within, the light is all around.

Hey now, hey now, reach inside.
Hey now, hey now, we can go (life?)
Hey now, hey now, I'll stand by you.
Hey now, hey now, let's see this through.

It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.
It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.

And as the dawn breaks, I see you shed a tear.
But don't you worry, our love won't disappear.

Hey now, hey now, reach inside.
Hey now, hey now, we can go (life?)
Hey now, hey now, I'll stand by you.
Hey now, hey now, let's see this through.

It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.




It's not over. It's not over. It's not over tonight.
