The Thrill is Gone

June 2024

The Thrill is Gone

by Roy Hawkins and Rick Darnell


The thrill is gone

The thrill is gone away

 

Yes, that thrill is gone, baby

That thrill is gone away

 

I know you done me wrong

And you’ll be sorry

 

Someday.

 

The thrill is gone

 

It’s up and gone away from me

 

The thrill is gone, baby

And now at last I’m free

 

I’ll be moving on

without loneliness

haunting me.


The thrill is gone

Maybe it was never really there

 

The thrill has gone away

 

Somehow I don’t care

 

I know it’s gone for my own good

like a lovin’ woman would

 

You’re free now, baby

Free from my kisses

and my spell


I’m free too, baby,

even though you can’t tell

 

And now that it’s all over

all I can do is wish you well

 

Now that it’s finally over

 

all I can do is fare thee well.
