1.  Tonight's the night we finally say, "goodbye."
                              A              B(7)
    And if I know you, you're probably gonna cry.
           A                B
    But my eyes are dry and clear
           E     f#     g#   A
    'cause in my heart  I    know
           E      B7               A
    it was over a long, long time ago.
           E      A          B7     E
    It was over a long, long time ago.


2.  The glow from your window lights my bed.
    But I'm asleep now.  I can't hear what you said.
    The dreams that we once shared
    I'm now dreaming alone.
    'Cause it was over a long, long time ago.
    It was over a long, long time ago.



        (E)    B7                             E
bridge: It was over when your words no longer made me laugh.
        (E)    B7                                E
        It was over when your jokes did not ring true.
               G#m                        F#m
        It was over when I needed you the most.
               A       G#m      B7
        It was over.   Now it's through.


3.  But, tonight I felt a stirring in my heart.
    I know I'm going to miss you when we part.
    Some feelings still remain.
    But I won't let them show.
    'Cause it was over a long, long time ago.
    It was over a long, long time ago.
