Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say goodbye, my one true lover
And we'll steal a lover's song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival has gone
[Verse 2]
Oh, my love, the dawn is breaking
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now the cloak of night is falling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
[Verse 5]
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Oh, I will love you till I die
Oh, I will love you till I die
Oh, I will love you till I die
