At last it's over,
I knew I could not hold him,
His love for freedom

Was far too strong.

But though he's gone now

My life is just beginning,
I'll soon forget him,
I'll soon forget him,

I must forget him, lord!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,

There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.


Will I remember,
Will I still hear him whisper?

Will I still feel his
Lips on mine?


In dreams I see him,
Perhaps he'll stay forever
And all I'm wishing

And all I'm hoping
And all my longing, too.


Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,

There's a brand new day beginning.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.


He made me happy
And though I suffered, too,
There's no mistaking

Our love was true.

But such a sweet love

Just wasn't meant to be
And it's all over
Yes, it's all over,

And now it's done I'll start anew.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,

There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.


Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.


Sha-la-la...
