Written September 23, 2001 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 ....
