(lost His Love) On Our Last Date by Emmylou Harris

(floyd cramer/conway twitty)

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< "simple" 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

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 realize
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 his love on our last date
