From the recordings C.R. 434 and It Ain't Over ('til It's Over In Me)
Though this song contains some personal truths for the songwriter, it was written for all who have experienced something in their lives that just never seems to be over... just won't let go. That said, we all have the choice of either letting what struggles life has dealt us win and put us down or, realizing that life itself is a wonderful gift and recognizing that "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over In Me!"
Lyrics
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
It may seem strange cause you just can’t see,
To you and whoever, it’s over and done, but
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
They said the war’s over said it right on TV,
For governments and countries that just might be,
But for all those who lived it it’s a different tune, they’re singin’
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
Now a love is something special think we all would agree,
And mine was perfect, the One just for me,
Now she’s long gone and we are no more, but I’m singin’
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, oh baby, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
Aw how can it be over when it still hurts inside?
How can it be over when sleep just won’t stay?
How can it be over when it just won’t let go? I’ll tell ya,
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
Well life is hard and it just don’t care,
Who wins or loses or how well we fare,
For many that’s too tough and they give up ya see, but
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me, oh baby, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over in me,
