This is the beginning of the end
It’s been a real nice time and I can’t wait
To see you all again
This is the beginning of the end
If there’s anyone around you
Throw your arm around a friend

‘Cause the end of today
Could be the end of the way we’ve been living
If you wind up on the wrong side of the road
You’ll always have a hand to hold
It’s like a dream that I just never want to end
Wish I could stay right here with all my best friends

It’s the end of the line
It’s the end of the show
It’s the end of the record
Even though I hate to go
I could stay here for awhile
If I had nowhere to be
But this old highway keeps on calling
For the end of you and me

So this is the beginning of the end
It’s been a real nice time and I can’t wait
To see you folks again
This is the beginning of the end
If there’s anyone around
You throw your arm around a friend

At the end of the day
It’s the end of the way we’ve been living
And if you wind up on the wrong side of the road
You’ll always have a hand to hold
It’s like a dream that I just never want to end
Wish I could stay right here with all my best friends

It’s the end of the line
It’s the end of the show
It’s the end of the record
Even though I hate to go
I could stay here for awhile
If I had nowhere to be
But this old highway keeps on calling
For the end of you and me

So this is the beginning of the end
It’s been a real nice time and I can’t wait
To see you folks again
This is the beginning of the end
If there’s anyone around
You throw your arm around a friend

If there’s anyone around you
Hold them close ’cause it’s the end
