Lyrics
Our ship of dreams is drifting far from land
For love is now no longer in command
And the moon and the stars who were once our crew
Have deserted too, now that love is through
So, why go on to some uncertain fate?
Why wait until it’s too late?
Chorus:
Let’s call it a day, let us say
It was just meant to be a sweet memory
Love won’t stay, let’s call it a day
In saying goodbye let us try
To avoid any tears let’s be thankful for years
That were gay, it’s easy that way
Let’s have no regrets or a word of blame
Just like two old vets
Let’s say we took what came
Let’s call it a day let us say
That we just can’t pretend
And we know it’s the end
Why delay? Let’s call it a day
