(It's over, it's over, it's over)
Summer came and passed away
Hardly seemed to last a day
But it's over
And what can I do
Music playin' in the air
Silence on a darkened stair
'Coz it's over
And what can I do
It's over, it's over, all over
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down
(It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feelin' down, down
(It's all over)
Feelin' down, down, down
Hey, baby, it's all gone
Rolled out to the sea
Lookin' over sunny days
(Searchin', searchin')
Searchin' for the righteous wave
'Coz it's over
(All gone, what can I do)
Lookin' from this distant shore
(Distant shore)
You ain't sailin' by no more
'Coz it's over
(It is over)
And what can I do
It's over, it's over, all over
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down
(It's over, over)
(It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feelin' down, down
(It's over)
Feelin' down, down, down
Ah, it's over, it's over
It's over
It's all over
And what can I do
Ah, it's over
It's over
It's all over
Oh, it's over
It's over
Don't shed a tear for me
It's over
Don't shed a tear
Although it's over
Summer came and passed away
Hardly seemed to last a day
But it's over
And what can I do
Music playin' in the air
Silence on a darkened stair
'Coz it's over
And what can I do
It's over, it's over, all over
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down
(It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feelin' down, down
(It's all over)
Feelin' down, down, down
Hey, baby, it's all gone
Rolled out to the sea
Lookin' over sunny days
(Searchin', searchin')
Searchin' for the righteous wave
'Coz it's over
(All gone, what can I do)
Lookin' from this distant shore
(Distant shore)
You ain't sailin' by no more
'Coz it's over
(It is over)
And what can I do
It's over, it's over, all over
It's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down
(It's over, over)
(It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feelin' down, down
(It's over)
Feelin' down, down, down
Ah, it's over, it's over
It's over
It's all over
And what can I do
Ah, it's over
It's over
It's all over
Oh, it's over
It's over
Don't shed a tear for me
It's over
Don't shed a tear
Although it's over

About"It's Over" is a song recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).
The song is the second track from the LP Out of the Blue. It was the last single to be lifted from the album and was released in the United States only, becoming a minor hit. The orchestral beginning was actually the end of "Mr. Blue Sky" reversed.
In 2007, hip hop artist and producer will.i.am sampled parts of the song, and it formed the backbone of his opening track "Over" from the album Songs About Girls.
B-side "The Whale"
"The Whale" is an instrumental by the Electric Light Orchestra.
The song is track 15 from their hugely successful 1977 double LP Out of the Blue. The song was the B-side of "It's Over" in 1978 and was re-mastered and reissued on their box set Flashback.
The song features the keyboard talents of Richard Tandy prominently, as well as the usual orchestration conducted by Louis Clark. Composer Jeff Lynne was moved to write the instrumental piece after watching a documentary on the killing of whales, similar to Jon Anderson (of Yes fame)'s penning of "Don't Kill the Whale" in 1978.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, a portion of the song was featured during the nightly sign-off on Toronto television station CFTO-TV
