  1. The Seekers were a fantastic group. Judith Durhams’ voice is exquisite and the lyrics are perfect for this song. ‘The Carnival Is Over’ is one of the saddest ‘farewell’ parting love songs of all time.

    THE CARNIVAL IS OVER – 25/11/1965
    3 weeks at #1 – 17 weeks on chart

    Say goodbye my own true lover
    As we sing a lovers song
    How it breaks my heart to leave you
    Now the carnival is gone
    High above the dawn is waiting
    And my tears are falling rain
    For the carnival is over
    We may never meet again

    Like a drum my heart was beating
    And your kiss was sweet as wine
    But the joys of love are fleeting
    For Pierrot and Columbine
    Now the harbour light is calling
    This will be our last goodbye
    Though the carnival is over
    I will love you till I die

    Like a drum my heart was beating
    And your kiss was sweet as wine
    But the joys of love are fleeting
    For Pierrot and Columbine
    Now the harbour light is calling
    This will be our last goodbye
    Though the carnival is over
    I will love you till I die
    Though the carnival is over
    I will love you till I die
