Lyrics

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain

So come on baby [Don't fear the reaper]
Take my hand [Don't fear the reaper]
We'll be able to fly [Don't fear the reaper]
Baby, I'm your man
Baby take my hand

La la la, la la
La la la, la la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity [Romeo and Juliet]
Forty thousand men and women every day [Like Romeo and Juliet]
Another forty thousand coming every day [We can be like they are]

So come on baby [Don't fear the reaper]
Take my hand [Don't fear the reaper]
We'll be able to fly [Don't fear the reaper]
Take my hand
Baby take my hand

La la la, la la
La la la, la la

Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity [Romeo and Juliet]

So come on baby [Don't fear the reaper]
Take my hand [Don't fear the reaper]
We'll be able to fly [Don't fear the reaper]
Baby take my hand
Baby take my hand

La la la, la la
La la la, la la
