Last Kiss

"When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them" ~ Lemony Snicket

Oh where oh where
Can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I have got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We haven't driven very far
There in the road
Straight up ahead
A car was stalled
The engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tyres
The busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last

Oh where oh where
Can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I have got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

When I woke up
The rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm running in my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head
She looked at me and said "Hold me darling just a little while"
I held her tight, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss
But now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night

Oh where oh where
Can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I have got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
