The Last One
by Bob Bennett

Album: Small Graces

I saw the autumn in your hair
The leaves are always turning there
Indian summer giving way to scarf and gloves
To fall, to feel this way again
I must confess I wondered when
Or even if I'd ever find her

The last of my loves
The last one
The last of my loves

Along the timeline of my life
A list of names, a former wife
False starts and failures
Over and done
And I can make it on my own
But I don't want to live alone
So you'll forgive me if I wondered

Could you be the one?
The last one
The last of my loves

And will there come a day
When every different day's the same
At the end of each "I love you" I'll say
Only one name

Wisdom gained like pulling teeth
Holes in my pockets of belief
Slow healing of the wounded heart and mind
And all my prayers come down to one
"Here's what I want, Your will be done"
And that includes my deepest longing

That someday I'll find
The last one
The last of my loves
The last one
The last of my loves
The last ...
