This was always my Nan's favourite song and she often said 'play it at my funeral' so we did, at the end, and all the words seem to fit perfectly for a funeral as it says things like 'the carnival is over, this will be our last goodbye. Still makes me cry when I listen to it.
Lyrics 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
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
Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die
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
Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die
