The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your sighs
Feel your touch and realize
The thrill is gone

MONOLOGUE: YEAH, YEAH! The night is cold, YEAH! For love is old, yeah,
that's what I thought, YEAH! Yeah, love was grand when it was brand-new,
YEAH! Birds were singin' and all them skies were blue, YEAH! Now it doesn't
appeal to you.. YEAH, darlin', the thrill is gone, YEAH, YEAH!!

This is the end
So why pretend
And let it linger on?

The Thrill Is Gone
B. B. King

Lead

1. The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away,
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away,
You know you done me wrong,
And you're gonna be sorry some day,

2. The thrill is gone, it's gone away from me,
The thrill is gone, it's gone away from me,
I know I'll still go on,
Some way,

Lead

3. The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone for good,
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone for good,
And someday I'll be over you,
Just like a good man should,

4. I'm free, free, free, I'm free from your spell,
I'm free, free, free, I'm free from your spell,
And now that it's all over, baby,
All I can do is wish you well,
