Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
G C D
Say goodbye, my own true lover
G C D
As we sing a lover's song
G C D
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Am D G
Now the carnival is gone
[Chorus]
G C D
High above, the dawn is waiting
G C D
And my tears are falling rain
G C D
For the carnival is over
Am Em Bm
We may never meet again
[Verse 2]
G C D
Like a drum, my heart was beating
G C D
And your kiss was sweet as wine
G C D
But the joys of love are fleeting
Am D G
For Pierrot and Columbine
[Chorus]
G C D
High above, the dawn is waiting
G C D
And my tears are falling rain
G C D
For the carnival is over
Am Em Bm
We may never meet again
[Verse 3]
G C D
Now the love that kept us smiling
G C D
Is the love that we must hide
G C D
Oh, the sweetest dream is over
Am D G
Now our hearts are empty inside
[Chorus]
G C D
High above, the dawn is waiting
G C D
And my tears are falling rain
G C D
For the carnival is over
Am Em Bm
We may never meet again
[Outro]
G C D
We may never meet again
G C D
We may never meet again
G C D G
We may never meet again
