Never Again - Noël Coward

No, never again

Never the strange unthinking joy

Never the pain

Let me be wise

Let me learn to doubt romance

Try to live without romance

Let me be sane

Time

Changes the tune

Changes the pale unwinking stars, even the moon

Let me be soon

Strong enough to flout romance

And say you’re out romance

Never again

It’s over now, the dream is over now

Maybe it really wasn’t so important anyhow

What’s been can’t be again reluctantly I see

My heart is free again

Belongs to me again

The brief illusion I looked for has gone

No more confusion and tears from now on

To start again

Would break my heart again

If you should ask me to

I’d say to hell with you
