Backstory:

This song is based on a poem I wrote back in 1990. I've written and re-written this one I don't know HOW many times over course of 17 years....I do believe after all that time it's come to rest!:)

Lyrics:

                                                  
 THE LAST TIME
Tina Tufts/Germain Brunet

HIS SHIP WAITS IN THE HARBOUR
SHE’S CRYING PLEASE DON’T LEAVE
LIPS GENTLY BRUSH ACROSS HER FACE
HE SAYS “DO YOU HAVE A SMILE FOR ME”

HE GATHERS HER IN HIS ARMS
AND SAYS “BABY I WON’T BE FAR
WHEN YOU NEED ME JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
I’LL BE EVERYWHERE YOU ARE

CHORUS
THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME
IT AIN’T OUR LAST RIDE
IT’S ONLY GOODBYE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
SO DARLING DON’T YOU CRY
IT’S NOT THE END
THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME
I’LL BE WITH YOU AGAIN

(Verse two)

A small girl on his shoulders
Can't be much more than three
Her little hands - they pat his head
She said, "Just one more ride for me"

ROSES ON A PILLOW
AN OLD MAN ON HIS KNEES
HIS HANDS ARE SHAKING, HIS HEART IS BREAKING
HE DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE

FOR FIFTY YEARS THEY SANG A LOVE SONG
TODAY THE LAST NOTE PLAYED
JUST BEFORE SHE PASSED SHE WHISPERED “PLEASE DON’T CRY
WE’LL DANCE TOGETHER AGAIN SOMEDAY”

CHORUS

TAG - THIS AIN’T THE LAST TIME
