Emmylou Harris – (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date Lyrics
[Verse]
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
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
GENIUS
