The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Love Is The Last Thing

Since she was seventeen, I was her guy

She was the light of my life

Well, of all the silly games we used to play

Love was the first thing we prized.

So unexpectedly became a thief

I heard these things happen but never to me

Left me walking in shadows, stumblin' blind

Searching for ways to get by.

Got to find me a girl who can change my world

And make, make it all worthwhile

Take it all away and my heart sees clear

Love is the last thing

It's just the last thing

Love is the last thing to go.

See all the lights laid out below my feet

The city's so quiet tonight

Someone is waiting for me down there

It's time to get back in this life.

Got to find me a girl who can change my world

And make, make it all worthwhile

Take it all away and it's all so clear

Love is the last thing

It's just the last thing

Love is the last thing, ooh

Oh, it's just the last thing

Love, love is the last thing to go.

Love, it's the last thing.
