All Over Too Soon

[Verse 1]
Yes I remember all those summer days
The rendezvous' outside the beach cafés
When we would drift right through those swingin' doors
Like most people do when together
And we would taste a little glass of wine
Or maybe two or three if we had time
Too good to last all gone and past
So lonely and blue, this Guy Fawkes

[Verse 2]
I guess I'm just a sentimental fool
I'll spend the morning down beside the pool
And reminisce on the happiness
Of how things might have been together
Or maybe simply spend the rest of the day
Tossin' pebbles out in to the bay
'Cause it was all over too soon

[Bridge]
I see the happy couples in the sand
Building castles, hand in hand
The little yachts upon the ocean swell
The midnight banging of the old church bell
The postcard stands with views that never change
The funfair wheels and the shooting range
The memories come flooding back through
Like an old familiar tune

And if I found a way of getting them back
Those evenings 'neath the stars and moon
Those winter nights wouldn't seem so long no more
Nor my crawls and brawls around the local bars

[Verse 3]
Guess I'm just a melancholic clown
I'll have to dress and maybe go uptown
And have a drink or catch a movie show
Steer clear of the places where we used to go
Or maybe simply spend from night to noon
Try and get my violin into tune

[Outro]
'Cause it was all over, it was all over
It was all over much too soon
