On Our Last Date, (Lost His Love) [Live]

Emmylou Harris · Anthology: The Warner/Reprise Years [Rhino Records [2001]

(Conway Twitty - Floyd Cramer)



It's over, our love affair, too late now I find I care

His sweet love no more I'll share

Now he's gone, I'm alone, I was wrong

Should have known, took me home on our last date.



I searched for a simple way to tell him what I had to say

I kissed him, watched him walk away

Set him free, foolishly, destiny

Misery, tragedy, on our last date.



--- Instrumental ---



Took the ring from my tremblin' finger

Brushed the tears from my baby's eyes

Walked away, didn't know, but I'll soon miss him so

I guess I was too young to realize.



So blind I couldn't see how much he really meant to me

And that soon he would always be on my mind in my heart

I was blind from the start, lost his love on our last date...
