THE LAST OF HIS HEART

A song about Nancy and David ...

I get into bed beside him        It will be the last time
Careful not to touch him        For his pain becomes mine
We look at each other        And I stare at his face
Those eyes are my lover’s        But the rest has been erased

It takes all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face
And with all of his heart ... Longs to give me ... Just one embrace
With the last of his breath ... He tells me ... That he must soon depart
With the last of his life ... He gives me ... The last of his heart

He clings to the end his life        For all that it’s worth
To give me his friend and wife        The best love on earth
Two weeks before Valentine         His gifts have begun
Today’s heart candy sign        Says...“You’re the only one”

It takes all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face
And with all of his heart ... Longs to give me ... Just one embrace
With the last of his breath ... He tells me ... That he must soon depart
With the last of his life ... He gives me ... The last of his heart

Two ships in the night         --- One strikes a reef
Trapped in her sight         --- The other ship leaks
Filling with water         --- Gasping for breath
Slowly he falters         --- Then nothing is left

It took all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face
And with all of his heart ... Longed to give me ... Just one embrace
With the last of his breath ... He told me ...That he must soon depart
With the last of his life ... He gave me ... The last of his heart

Please tell me ... Why, why, why ... Did he go?
I want to know ... Why, why, why ... Am I alone?
With the last of his breath... He told me ...That he must soon depart
With the last of his life ... He gave me ... The last of his heart
The last of his heart ...
The last of his heart ....
