The End Of The World

(album: Billy Dean Sings Richard Leigh - 2009)

It's not the end of the world you're gone
It's not the the end of the world
In a year, maybe two
I might look back on you
As just one in a string of pearls
Well, I see you came in with your new love
It's the happiest you've looked in years
No, it is not the end of the world
But I can see it, I can see it from here

You know what they say?
"No good deed goes unpunished"
So I must step aside
And be the one to pay
But as I wish you love
I must say it's funny to feel my heart
Starting to break apart
It's not the end of the world they tell me
It's not the end of the world
When I walk down the street
Every old friend I meet asks me
Where's your pretty girl?"

When I know that they know the whole story
When an old friend is someone to fear
No, it is not the end of the world
But I can see it, well I can feel it from here

You know what they say?
"No good deed goes unpunished"
So I must step aside
And be the one to pay
But as I wish you love
I must say it's funny to feel my heart
Starting to break apart

We'll I wish you the best with your new love
But it's the happiest you've looked in years
No, it is not the end of the world
But on my darling, I can see it from here
