Turn off the music, take down the signs   Pack up the boxes, put away the wine   No toast for the future   No reward for the find      If looks could kill   This mirror would do   Only 'cause I don't have you      Don't bother with ovations   Leave off the fanfare   Let the candles melt down   Till the smoke's all that's there      Leave the veil in place, a tear, la mer   I could say it was nothing   Now that there's nothing new   Only 'cause I don't have you      Not built on a wisp or whim   Twist an arm, break a leg   Tear me limb from limb   If there's a point you've made it   If there's a fare I've paid it      Later on good wishes   Later on good try   I'm afraid won't do   It's not justified, you go from the privy      And you end up deprived   On top of the world   But still there's no view   Only 'cause I don't have you
