( LOST  HIS LOVE) ON OUR LASTDATE

EMMYLOU  HARRIS

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, foolish me
Destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date

Took the ring from my tremblin' finger
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away, didn't know
That I'd soon miss him so
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.
