The Carnival Is Over Lyrics

[Verse]
Say goodbye, my own true lover
As we sing a lovers' song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone

High above, the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over –
We may never meet again

[Bridge]
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine

[Chorus]
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over –
I will love you till I die

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love arе fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
[Chorus]
Now the harbour light is calling
This will bе our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over –
I will love you till I die

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
