Dusty Drake - One Last Time lyrics

When she picked up the telephone,

His voice came on the line.

She said: "This can't be happening,"

An' tears fell from her eyes.

She said: "What am I supposed to do?

"I can't handle losin' you."

He said: "I just had to call to say goodbye,

"One last time."

He said: "There are some things in this life,

"That are out of our control.

"Like who we fall in love with,

And when it's time to go."

An' she said: "What about the plans we had?"

He said: "This connection's gettin' bad."

"Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,

One last time."

She started to apologise,

For all the things that she'd done wrong.

She said: "I would have loved you better.

If only I'd known."

He said: "You were the perfect wife:

Promise me you'll go on with your life."

She said: "The boys won't understand."

He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong, whoa."

He said: "Honey, I've gotta go."

She said: "Don't you dare hang up.

There's so many things I need to say.

I love you so much."

It was almost like she felt him leave.

She cried out: "Can you still hear me?"

She fell down on the kitchen floor,

When the signal died,

As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.

One last..
