Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



The Last Time

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1975 Schroder Music Company, renewed 2003.


This will be the last kiss
And then I'll leave you,
This will be the last drink,
Then I go dry.
This will be the last time
I'll say I'm sorry,
This will be the last night
And then good bye.

The last time, the very last time, my darling,
Tomorrow starts another way of living,
A clean white page, a spring time new beginning,
Tomorrow and tomorrow,
And this is the very last time.

This will be the last song,
Then I stop singing,
This will be the last step,
And then I fly.
This will be the last bread
We break together,
This will be the last night
And then good bye.
