"The Party Had To End"
Copyright Gary E. Andrews May 9, 2025

(Verse I)
Too bad! The Party Had To End!
I just met, a wonderful friend!
She smiled, took me by the hand!
She said, "Dance with me! Dance with me again!"
(Instrumental repeat of the Melody of the Chorus Refrain, Line 1, twice)

(Verse II)
It's late! The moon is 'round the bend!
She's so great! My heart is on the mend!
She sang! Now she's ten for ten!
Too bad! The Party Had To End!

(Bridge)
Turn back, the hands of all the clocks!
Give us, time to sing! And rock!
If we're dreaming, don't undo the lock!
Leave the door! Leave the door! Don't knock!

(Verse III: Repeat VI)
Too bad! The Party Had To End.
I just met, a wonderful friend!
She smiled, took me by the hand!
She said, "Dance with me! Dance with me again!"

(Coda)
Too bad! The Party Had To End!
Too bad! The Party Had To End!
(Repeat Melody, instrumentally)
