All It Took Lyrics

All it took was a look

A look said it all

There was no need for words or smiles

And no room for tears

The look in your eye

She already knew

Said so long, farewell, goodbye

I'll never see you again

A suitcase of leather

All battered and scarred

Waited down in the hall for you

Full of memories and lie

And an old mandolin

That belonged to your pa

That you taught her to play real well

In an old-timey style

It's time to go, my bags are packed

Time to move on, no going back

A farewell kiss I blow

It's time to leave it's time to go

Oooh Oooh, Oooh Oooh

Making music in harmony

Is making love in a song

Sweet communion of flesh and blood

It only lasts for so long

When the song is all over

And the last chords ring out

When the afterglow fades away

Love can wither and die

She sang Star Spangled Banner

Tears ran down her face

Her voice cracked with emotion

As she sang her goodbyes

Her farewell performance

Marked the end of the line

Time for new inspiration

Here's to happier times

It's time to go, my bags are packed

Time to move on, no going back

A farewell kiss I blow

It's time to leave it's time to go

Oooh Oooh, Oooh Oooh
