The Last Time

It's a long drive every day to school She drops him off at the north doors painted blue He says, "I love you, mom," before he shuts the door Oh, every day just like the day before But tomorrow, he's sixteen, he's got his own car now She tells herself, he'll be fine Everyone remembers the first time 'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this But the thing about the last time Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is Grandpa and I, every Saturday We used to walk down by the water to the big rock we named I can't find it now, it's been too many years I wish I took him back just one more time when he was still here He looked fine at Christmas, same sweater, same tie Ain't it funny how some memories fade And some never die Everyone remembers the first time 'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this But the thing about the last time Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is So tonight, I'm kissing you like the sun ain't gonna rise I'm gonna love you like it's the last time Everyone remembers the first time 'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this But the thing about the last time Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is You don't know that it's the last time till it is, mm yeah
