My Last Request

Jim Lauderdale

My last request is playing now
It sounded best when you were around
But now it's so different it just makes me feel blue
My last request will remind me of you

I lose myself in sweet mem'ries of us
But I'll find my way again I know that I must
I give my heart you're not impressed
Now you don't hear this my last request
[ guitar ]
We danced along and you wanted to hear
That this would never end I felt your happy tear

There's no way out I must accept
But play this one slow pick up what's left
When our love was dying and I tried my best
You would not listen to my last request
Now I still hear my last request
