(Jimmie Rodgers)
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay this hour
The love we share will always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize all night, it's 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 land
I watch you walk away somehow
I have to let you go now, it's over.
If you knew just how I really feel
You might turn yet
There are so many times that
People have to love and then forget
Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say, it's over.
So I turn my back and turn my colar to the wind
Move along in silence trying not to think at all
I send my feet before me
Walk the silence street before me, it's over.

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay this hour
The love we share will always be
There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize all night, it's over...
