It's Over
Roy Orbison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your baby doesn't love you any more

Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over

It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through

It's over, it's over, it's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all





It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more

When she says to you
There's someone new
We're through, we're through
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

This was my sign off song on my final shift as a radio disc jockey. Once it ended. I got my headphones, left the studio, got in my car and went home.
