It's Over

(Rodgers)

 

Information:
Jimmie Rodgers wrote and recorded It’s Over (Dot 16861) in 1966. His version reached # 37 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. Two years later, Eddy Arnold also charted with his rendition of It’s Over (RCA 47-9525), reaching # 74 on the Hot 100 chart and # 4 on the country chart.

 

Elvis occasionally sang It’s Over in concert in the 1970s. It was one of the songs in his 1973 TV special, Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii.

 

Lyrics:
 

1. If time were not a moving thing and I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be
There'd be no coming day to shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over

When you walk away from me there is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun that rises over the land
I watch you walk away somehow I have to let you go
Cause it's over

If you knew just how I really feel you might return and yet
There are so many times that people have to love and then forget
Oh, there might have been a way somehow I have to force myself to say
It's over

So I turn my back, turn my collar to the wind

Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I set my feet before me, walk the silent street before me
Now it's over

1. (repeat)

It's over
