Lyrics

THE LAST

Maybe he’s the one
Who can give you what you want.
When all is said and done,
You’ll still need a confidant.

Someone to be there
When the other man won’t call.
Someone to be there
When summer cools down to fall.

From the first sweet breath of spring
To that last chilled day of frost,
We seek what tomorrow brings;
Never stop to count the cost.

Said our love’s grown cold;
You seek shelter from the storm –
Someone new and bold …
(He looks hot in his uniform).

Time for a fresh start;
You don’t want to be my wife.
Yes, you broke my heart
Saying, “Start a brand new life.”

The first time we made love,
It was the first time for you and me.
The first time we made love
Is secure in my memory.

The last time we made love
Is fast fading in the past.
The last time we made love,
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
It would be the last.

Our first sunrise, our last sunset,
Start with surprise; end with regret.
Long days, longer nights in-between;
Death always lurking behind the scenes.

The first time we made love,
It was the first time for you and me.
The first time we made love
Is secure in my memory.

The last time we made love
Is fast fading in the past.
The last time we made love,
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
It would be the last.

Started out so subtle,
Then slipped straight into smug.
Cold words killed the cuddle,
And hatred crushed the hug.

There’s only one first;
There’s only one last.
The rest is immersed
In a sea so vast.

The first time we made love,
It was the first time for you and me.
The first time we made love
Is secure in my memory.

The last time we made love
Is fast fading in the past.
The last time we made love,
I didn’t know it would be the last.
