PARTY'S OVER, THE
(Willie Nelson)

Rusty Draper - 1963

Willie Nelson - 1967
Johnny Bush - 1982



Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

What a crazy, crazy party, never seen so many people
Laughin', dancin', look at you, you're havin' fun
But look at me, I'm almost cryin', but that don't keep her love from dyin'
Misery, 'cause for me the party's over

Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

Once I had a love undyin', I didn't keep it, wasn't tryin'
Life for me was just one party and then another
I broke her heart so many times, had to have my party wine
Then one day she said, "Sweetheart, the party's over"

Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that all good things must end
Call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
