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

The Dawn of This Day

Lyrics to:  The Dawn of This Day
by:  David W. Oteman
c 2104

V1:  We thought we'd last forever
         But time proved us wrong
         Built of glass and shattered dreams
         We couldn't find the way
         To mend love's broken seams
         But nothing prepared me
         For the dawn of this day

V2:  We always had each other
        To depend upon
         Now it's over, love is gone
         And my world is so grey
         Since you left me alone
         But nothing prepared me 
         For the dawn of this day

Chorus:  The day I saw you again
                 And my heart skipped a beat
                 Like it did when we first met
                 And all those old feelings
                 Rushed to my head
                 And I couldn't forget
                 How sweet it was then

Bridge:  Could we try again
               To start anew?
               Because no matter what happens
               I'll never stop misssing you
               Come back to me
               And this time we'll see love through



V3:  But if too much has been lost
        And this is the end
         I know I really must try
         To keep my tears away
         So you don't see me cry
         But nothing prepared me 
         For the dawn of this day

Chorus:  The day I saw you again
                 And my heart skipped a beat
                 Like it did when we first met
                 And all those old feelings
                 Rushed to my head
                 And I couldn't forget
                 How sweet it was then
