lost his love on our last date

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 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
