Emmylou Harris

Last Date

It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
His sweet love no more I'll share
Now he's gone I'm alone I was wrong should have known
Took me home on our last date
I search for a single way
To tell him what I had to say
I kissed him watched him walk away
Set him free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date
SOLO
Took the ring from my trembling fingers
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know that I'd soon miss him so
Guess I was too young to realise
So blind I couldn't see
how much he really meant to me
And that soon he would always be
On my mind in my heart I was blind from the start
Lost love on our last date
