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 [bad word] 
 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 ...
