lyrics

The Last Song

I’ll sing for you the last song I have written
It might be the last one for awhile
It very well might be the last song I ever sing
So tonight I’d better sing it with a smile

I heard another friend is leaving
To join the many already gone
So close your eyes, we’ll sing for them tonight
Everyone will sing on the last song

Otis left us sitting on the dock of the bay
For Hank it was a cheating heart that took him away
Janis prayed for a TV and a new Mercedes Benz
And though The Fab Four broke apart, they left us “The End”

But me, I’m not ready for leaving
Even though it seems it won’t be long
So close your eyes and sing with me tonight
Everyone will sing on the last song

And as another friend is leaving
To join the many already gone
Close your eyes, we’ll sing for them tonight
Everyone remembers the last song
So close your eyes and sing with me tonight
Everyone will sing on the last song
