Lightfoot Gordon The Last Time I Saw Her Lyrics

The Last Time I Saw Her Lyrics

The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and her 

 hair hung long

 The last time she spoke to me, her lips were like the scented flowers 

 inside a rain-drenched forest

 But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before

 And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I 

 might bleed some more

 

 The last time I walked with her

 Her laughter was the steeple bells

 That ring to greet the morning sun

 A voice that called to everyone

 To love the ground she walked upon

 Those were good day

 

 The last time I held her hand, her touch was autumn, spring and summer, 

 and winter too

 The last time I let go of her, she walked a way into the night

 I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand miles

 When other lips will kiss her eyes

 A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is

 

 But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before

 And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away that I 

 might bleed some more

 The last time I saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and she 

 walked alone

 

 The last time she kissed my cheek

 Her lips were like the wilted leaves

 Upon the autumn covered hills

 Resting on the frozen ground

 The seeds of love lie cold and still

 Beneath a battered marking stone

 It lies forgotten
