Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a lover's song How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a lover's song How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone High above, the dawn is waking, and my tears are falling rain For the carnival is over, we may never meet again I may roam a thousand miles, but never will I find, happiness I've known in your embrace Nothing can compare the diamonds that shine, to the sore tears on your face Like a drum, my heart was beating, and your kiss was sweet as wine For the joys of love are fleeting, for beer, wine and columbine Now the harbour light is calling, this will be our last goodbye For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die Mmm... Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a lover's song How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone Say goodbye, my own true lover, this will be our last goodbye For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die
