The Last Time

David W. Oteman 3250 E. Fort Lowell Rd. #316 Tucson, AZ. 85716 dwoteman@hotmail.com 520-325- 8304 Lyrics to: The Last Time 2014 V1: If I knew the last time I said goodbye Would be the last time We'd speak, you and I, I'd have said that I'll love you Forever V2: If I knew the last time I held you tight Would be the last time We would say goodnight I'd have held you in my arms Forever Chorus: But with these chances gone by Don't think I'll even try To remember how I loved you so So very long ago Bridge: Just my mind's reflections Playing with my head How clearly I hear know All the things I never said V3: If I knew the last time I kissed your cheek Would be the last time We would ever meet I'd have given thousands more Forever V4: If I knew the last time I saw your smile Would be the last time I looked in your eyes I'd have broken down and cried Forever Chorus: But with these chances gone by Don't think I'll even try To remember how I loved you so So very long ago
