One Last Song to Sing

One Last Song to Sing

2025 Michael J. Citak

(Verse 1)

We swayed beneath the porch light glow,

Your head upon my chest so slow,

I thought forever meant we’d know

The kind of love that never fades.

(Verse 2)

But morning came and dreams ran dry,

You packed the truth and said goodbye,

Now I just sit and ask the sky

Why were we given all those yesterdays.

(Chorus)

If I had known how it would end,

Would I still call you lover, call you friend?

Yes, I would walk that road again—

For the laughter, for the tears, for everything.

Some hearts break, but some hearts cling—

And you’re my one last song to sing.

(Verse 3)

The photos yellow with the years,

But I still smile through the tears,

’Cause every joy and every fear

Was proof that once I truly lived.

(Chorus)

If I had known how it would end,

Would I still call you lover, call you friend?

Yes, I would walk that road again—

For the laughter, for the tears, for everything.

Some hearts break, but some hearts cling—

And you’re my one last song to sing.

(Outro)

No regrets, no turning page,

Love was worth the hurt and age.

I’ll remember through the sting—

You were my one last song to sing.
