When the honeymoon ends and
the pink clouds dissolve
The ice covers over the
love and the soul
Where can we find refuge,
where can we find escape
When the party is over,
the party is over, the party is over
How much more can we take?
When the carnival ends
And the colored lights fade
There's a sense of not knowing
If we should be disgraced
Like a wave on an ocean
We can break on the rocks
When the party is over
The party is over, the party is over
And the pressure just drops
When the champagne is gone
And the curtains are closed
There's silence between us,
defenses exposed
We've come such a long way
to be caught like a spring
When the party is over, the party is over
The party is over ,
we can bounce back again
So let the lights fade, send the band home
The music plays on in the hall
Raise up your glass,
here's to the last, play on, play on
When the dancing is done,
do you clear up or sleep?
Where confetti is falling,
on the floor around your feet
The flowers and favors are
welded and torn
When the party is over, the party is over
When the party is over,
life just carries on
When the party is over ,
the party is over
When the party is over,
life just carries on
you
