Last Beautiful Woman

Another evening in your arms
To find you holding on to memories of your love
The nights were quiet ‘cause there was nothing else to say
Your heart had turned the other way
And it was over

I never wanted it to end
I carried on believing someday it would begin
But somewhere through the years the waiting grew too long
I learned to run from what was hard
I ran too far

Say goodbye to the last beautiful woman
Say goodnight to your lonely beautiful girl
So long to holding on for love’s last chance
Nothing here but loneliest heart in the world.

No telling just how long to try
Already thinking we couldn’t do this anymore
You’ll kiss me one more time to accept what’s gone inside
Your feelings for me had to go
I was the last to know

Say goodbye to the last beautiful woman
Say goodnight to your lonely beautiful girl
So long to holding on for love’s last chance
Nothing left but loneliest heart in the world.

How many days can you hear me sigh at nothing?
How many nights will you go to bed before me?
I saw the lies in your eyes denying your smile.
And each moment only showed us what couldn’t be.

Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
And stop to think about how once we both believed
The dreams that lay ahead for our love got left behind
Another’s heart might lead the way
Maybe someday

Say goodbye to the last beautiful woman
Say goodnight to your lonely beautiful girl
So long to holding on for love’s last chance
And hope in your heart that someday, you’ll be wrong.
