Mel Tillis Lyrics
"Then It Will All Be Over"

(Juanita Southern)

If you're leaving in the morning
Don't wake me up to say goodbye
I'll be dreaming back of you or so
Back to our first hello
And don't want to wake up just to cry.

I'll just kiss you for the last time
If you're asleep you'll never know
I'll tuck the covers round you tightly
Tiptoe out so very lightly
Turn the lights out in our world then I'll go.

Then it will all be over
Someone from the past got in our way
Then it will all be over
Oh, but we're waking up to face the day.

Please don't tell me where you're going
I may not always be this strong
If too much crying starts coming down
I may go running round
To another world where I don't belong.

No, I won't wake you just to tell you
Where I'll be if you don't want to know
Though deep inside I will be weeping
I'll leave you sleeping
Close the door to our world then I'll go.

Then it will all be over
Someone from the past got in our way
Then it will all be over
Oh, but we're waking up to face the day...
