Lovers for the Last Time
Let's just have one more drink together
Before you board that train bound for the East
Let's spend our last night together
Before you say goodbye and go away
Let's light up a lovers cigarette
And reminisce about the times we had
The laughter, the love and the happiness
We shared before our dreams all went bad
Let's just be lovers for the last time
And tomorrow we can go our separate ways
Let's make love until the dawn breaks through
Then when you have to leave
At least I'll have a memory
I'm sitting here alone in this barroom
With only memories for company
Waylon Jennings on the radio
With a haunting melody that makes me blue
The ashtray is full of half-smoked cigarettes
And the bottle's lying empty at my side
The candlelight flickers as it burns away
And my mind keeps drifting back to yesterday
Let's just be lovers for the last time
And tomorrow we can go our separate ways
Let's make love until the dawn breaks through
Then when you have to leave
At least I'll have a memory
Then when you have to leave
At least I'll have a memory
