"(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date" by Emmylou Harris

(Floyd Cramer/Conway Twitty)

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 search for a single way 
To tell him what I had to say 
I kissed him watched him walk away 
Set him free foolishly destiny misery 
Tragedy on our last date 

Took the ring from my trembling fingers 
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
