The Last Song

We played in the park as children,

With nowhere special to go.

Our belly-laughs rang,

As we danced as we sang –

And oh! How I loved you so.

We walked down the aisle together.

We must have put on quite a show!

We drank the champagne.

As we laughed and we sang –

And oh! How I loved you so.

Our baby was born the next winter.

I felt my heart overflow.

I felt a sharp pang –

But I laughed and I sang.

And oh! How I loved you so.

But the cold of the winter still lingered.

As the spring’s sun melted the snow.

Though I laughed and I sang –

Your words were like fangs!

But oh! How I still loved you so.

Then we sat in the cold formal courtroom,

And I knew I must let you go.

While my eyes were a blur,

You sat there with her!

And oh God! How I still loved you so.
