Lyrics Lee Ann Womack

Lee Ann Womack

The Last Time

Like an old abandoned ferris wheel

Time for me is standin' still

And it's you and me in mid July

Underneath the midway lights

And all our friends are standing there

So I was actin' like I didn't care

When you put your arms around my neck

And I barely even kissed you back

But if I'da have known it was the last time

I'da held on a little longer

And let that moment linger

And never let your fingers slip away from mine

If I'da known there'd never be another day

I'da watched you as you walked away

And kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight

If I, If I'da known it was the last time

Now the midway lights have all shut down

And grass has grown up all around

It's an empty field across the track

But I can't keep from coming back

It was another summer night

Carousel and rollercoaster ride

And that silly fight that we got in

Didn't seem so important then

But if I'da known it was the last time

I'da held on a little longer

And let that moment linger

And never let your fingers slip away from mine

If I'da known there'd never be another day

I'da watched you as you walked away

And kept you in my eyes till you were out of sight

If I, If I'da known it was the last time

And if I'da known then, what I know now

I'd never let you disappear into the crowd

Or turn away the way I did

With so much left unsaid

If I, If I'da known it was the last time
