Just One Last Time

We drifted apart, the years just pulled us away

Then I saw you on that sidewalk, nothing left to say

You said you’re getting married, in two weeks’ time

But the fire in your eyes still burns inside of mine

Back at work I tried to fight the memory down

Then the phone rang, and it was you on the line

You said, “Meet me at the old hotel, one last night

Let me feel your arms before I say goodbye

I’m still walking down that aisle, but tonight you can be mine

Hold me close, just one last time.”

The hallway shook beneath me, I could barely breathe

Every step was heavy with the ghost of what we’d be

Then you opened up the doorway, your tears cut like a knife

You said, “I wasn’t sure you’d come.” I said, “How could I not? You’re my life.”

You said, “Meet me at the old hotel, one last night

Let me feel your arms before I say goodbye

I’m still walking down that aisle, but tonight you can be mine

Hold me close, just one last time.”

The morning light will break this spell we’re under

You’ll walk away, and I’ll be torn asunder

But here in your arms, nothing else exists

Just the fire, the touch, the final kiss

“Meet me at the old hotel, one last night

Let me feel your arms before I say goodbye

I’m still walking down that aisle, but tonight you can be mine

Hold me close… oh, hold me close… just one last time.

Just One Last Time
