This Is It

(album: Distant Drums - 1966)

Well, this is it,
That day is here
The day I knew would come
When you would leave me dear.

Well, here I sit,
While teardrops fall
And wonder why I care
When you don't care at all.

But I'm a fool that way
From a-way back when
A fool who'd take you back
If you'd come back again.

But, this is it,
You're gone, you're free
You'll find another love
But this is it for me.

Well, this is it,
That day is here
It's no surprise and yet
I can't hold back the tears.

Well, here I sit,
And try to guess
how such an empty room
So full of loneliness.

Well, even the clock has stopped
Somehow I guess it knew
That time's run out of me
It's over it's all through.

Yes, this is it,
You're gone, you're free
You'll find another love
But this is it for me...
