ONE LAST KISS
We held hands when we were kids
You were my very best mate
We played, we laughed, we kicked tin lids
In each other's company we'd appreciate
Teenage love was meant to be
We spent every day together
Meant for each other, we both could see
Our love would never sever
But my life changed when you moved away
Your parents moved interstate
We made a pact this love would stay
And our love would always wait
The years have passed, I still think of you
Though life took a different way
But our love will last and I always knew
We'd be back together one day
When I walked into the room that day
In that local nursing home
I saw a lonely figure on display
There was no need for me to roam
For I knew that face! I knew those eyes!
Although my dementia had made me hazy
That beautiful smile you couldn't disguise
I knew I was senile, but not crazy!
For it was you! You had a tear
Running down your face
I think you knew it was quite clear
It was a feeling we couldn't replace
We talked for hours about our lives
We had so much to remember
We talked about those husbands and wives
We had lost back in September
Our eyes were locked on each other's face
Those lines could tell a story
Just can't believe we'd end up in this place
And reminisce of our life and glory
We held each other's hands again
Just like those days when young
Sat and thought of those days back when
That love song we had sung!
So when it's time our days have passed
And we leave this life we'll miss
I'll take your hand, right to the last
And give you one last kiss
