It's Over Now
Humphrey Lyttelton and His Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who would think that we would soon be parted
I just can't believe it's true
I make this appeal to you
Can't we talk it over,
Let's talk it over
Before you tell me you're through
And figure whether
This is the right thing to do
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over
Before it's over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let's talk it over dear.
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over
Before it's over
Before you whisper
Goodbye for ever
Let's talk it over dear.

Line by Line Meaning
We were so in love the day love started
We were deeply in love when we first fell in love
Who would think that we would soon be parted
Nobody could have predicted our separation
I just can't believe it's true
I am having a hard time accepting that it's over
I make this appeal to you
I am requesting something from you
Can't we talk it over,
Can we please have a conversation to try and reconcile
Let's talk it over
We need to discuss our issues and try to solve them
Before you tell me you're through
Before you break up with me
Can't we sit together
Can we please have a face-to-face conversation
And figure whether
And attempt to determine
This is the right thing to do
If ending our relationship is the best option
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
I despise the idea of being alone at night
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
I am desperately longing for the excitement and passion that we once shared
Before you whisper
Before you softly say
Goodbye for ever
A permanent farewell
Let's talk it over dear.
Please let us have a discussion to try and save our relationship
