ONE LAST

All those words that I never said
When my voice failed to say
Long hours spent smiling at you
Just when you’d look away

It seemed like I have always known
From the start, that it was you
I can’t believe it took so long for me
To decide on what to do

One last kiss for me and
It’s like first for you as well
I couldn’t face the end knowing
I’d never had the chance to tell
You what you mean to me

I wish I could hold you close
And whisper the words in my heart
But now it’s time to make our stand
And ensure we’ll never again be apart

One last kiss for me and
It’s like first for you as well
I couldn’t face the end knowing
I’d never had the chance to tell
You what you mean to me

 

Track Notes

Written while listening to lots of Alison Krauss (I'm firmly in the "if one heard an angel sing..." category). That's my bare foot keeping time on the floor you can hear behind the intro. I had to re-do the vocals on this song way too many times. The chorus originally had one extra word in it that I removed, and it made a world of difference. I wanted to have piano and slide guitar on the song as well, but decided to just keep it as-is, and I'm happy for that.
