For the Last Time

God knows I’ve known some lovers
in my storied past
But those and all the others,
they just didn’t last
And now I know why
For the first time I’m in love
for the last time

My love was like a lyric
with no melody
And words are only words
if there’s no poetry
Now I’ve found my rhyme
For the first time I’m in love
for the last time

So many bridges burned
Without a lesson learned
I thought that I had earned
this life alone
But through God’s saving grace
And the beauty of your face
My heart has found a place
to call my own

I never thought forever’d
ever be for me
I could only guess that happiness wasn’t meant to be
But now both are mine
For the first time I’m in love
for the last time

So many bridges burned
Without a lesson learned
I thought that I had earned
this life alone
But through God’s saving grace
And the beauty of your face

My heart has found a place
to call my own

I never thought forever’d
ever be for me
I could only guess that happiness wasn’t meant to be
But now both are mine
For the first time I’m in love
for the last time

For the first time
I’m in love for the last time
