One Last Time

[Verse 1]
We were strangers on the sidewalk, after all these years apart
You smiled and said hello, but it went straight through my heart
I could see the ring upon your hand, your new life shining bright
But old flames don’t die easy when they’re burning in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Back at work, your memory tore me down
The phone rang, and it was you on the other side of town

[Chorus]
You said, “Meet me where the shadows know our names
One last time before I change my ways
I’m still walking down that aisle, but tonight you can be mine
Hold me close, just one last time.”

[Verse 2]
I walked the hall, the carpet echoed every step I made
Every memory came flooding back, every promise that we gave
The door swung wide, and there you stood with tears in your eyes

You whispered, “I wasn’t sure you’d come,” I said, “How could I not… it’s you.... my life.”

[Chorus]
You said, “Meet me where the shadows know our names
One last time before I change my ways
I’m still walking down that aisle, but tonight you can be mine
Hold me close, just one last time.”

[Bridge]
The morning will steal what the night couldn’t save
I’ll watch you belong to another man’s name
But here in your arms, I can still believe
That love like ours never truly leaves

[Final Chorus / Outro]
So meet me where the shadows know our names
Even if tomorrow nothing’s changed
You’ll walk away forever, but tonight you’re still mine
I’ll remember your touch for the rest of my life…
Just one last time.
