It's Over

About It's Over

"It's Over" is a 1966 song written and originally performed by Jimmie Rodgers. He released it as a single in 1966, with "Anita, You're Dreaming" on the flip side. Elvis Presley recorded a live version of "It's Over" at his January 14, 1973 televised comeback concert Aloha from Hawaii. The recording was first released on the LP Aloha from Hawaii. He also had recorded the song live (for RCA and MGM) in April 1972. Another live recording, from February 17, 1972, was released in 1995 on the box set Walk a Mile in My Shoes: The Essential '70s Masters. Jimmie Rodgers recalled: I was with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass at Carnegie Hall in New York, and there was a girl there at the show. She was standing outside crying and we began to talk. She had just broken up with her boyfriend. I asked if she was okay. She said, "No, my boyfriend and I broke up today and it's over." I went back to my room and wrote "It's Over." I never had Elvis in mind to do it when I wrote the song. The song has also been covered by Glen Campbell (in 1967) and by Dusty Springfield. more »

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is over

When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that rises over the land

I watch you walk away
Somehow if have to let you go
Now it's over

If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forget

Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all

I send my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is over

It's over
