Lyrics:
A dying flame
You're free again
Who could love
And do that to you
All dressed in black
He won't be coming back
Save your tears
You've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're only dreams
Save your crying for the day

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

Miss teenage dream
Such a tragic scene
He knocked your crown
And ran away
First wound of pride
And how you cried and cried
But save your tears you've
Got years and years

Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

(Fool if you think it's over)
(Fool if you think it's over)

I'll buy your first good wine
We'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day
That may not come
But anyone
Who had to pay

Would laugh at you and say
Fool if you think it's over
'Cos you said goodbye
Fool if you think it's over
I'll tell you why
New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the morning sun
You're a fool if you think it's over
It's just begun

I'll buy your first good wine
Ooh, we'll have a real good time
Save your crying for the day

New born eyes always cry wiht pain
At the first look at mornin' sun
Fool if you think it's over
It's just Begun.
