A parody of “The Last Waltz” song written by: Barry Mason and Les Reed
One Last Ode
I wondered if I’d write ever again Inklings of my heart that flow through my pen Then words came cascading from sky up above Freewheelin’ mystic glimmers of love. I wrote one last ode for you Two lonesome dreamers together Head o'er heels were we two One last ode to last forever. ‘Twas balladry kept us going strong Through the ups and downs we got along Until there was a parting of the tide And the gap between us became ocean wide. I wrote one last ode for you Two lonesome dreamers together Head o'er heels were we two One last ode to last forever. Love’s never gone, memories linger on Sweet souvenirs of passions refraining... Tra la la la la la tra la la Tra la la la la la tra la la I wrote one last ode for you Two lonesome dreamers together Head o'er heels were we two One last ode to last forever. Tra la la la la la tra la La * * *

I LOVE this sweet sonnet, Belle!! Creatively crafted. Don't know the song tho'. Will YouTube it. This ink gem is an instant fave. With love, have a Happy Holiday.

Thanks for this. Likewise, singing with you cheers of blest Christmas spirit, and holiday Season while sharing "... the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

What a beautiful parody. On the second read I was almost singing the song. Well compose, Belle. ~~
