The Last Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a long drive every day to school
She drops him off at the north doors painted blue
He says: I love you, Mom, before he shuts the door
Oh, every day just like the day before
But tomorrow, he's sixteen and he's got his own car now
She tells herself, he'll be fine
Everyone remembers the first time
'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this
But the thing about the last time
Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is
Grandpa and I, every Saturday
We used to walk down by the water to the big rock we named
I can't find it now, it's been too many years
I wish I took him back just one more time when he was still here
He looked fine at Christmas, same sweater, same tie
Ain't it funny how some memories fade
And some never die
Everyone remembers the first time
'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this
But the thing about the last time
Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is
So tonight, I'm kissing you like the Sun ain't gonna rise
Gonna love you like it's the last time
Everyone remembers the first time
'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this
But the thing about the last time
Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is
You don't know that it's the last time till it is
