Last Song (For Lester)

I flew from far away

They said the last notes of your tenor played

You faded fast, now I have one regret

I couldn't hold those hands that I loved the best

You are my morning star

Forever rising, forever breaking my heart

But I'd do it, I'd do it all again

If they would only let me sing a last song for you

A last motif

A last song for you

This last song is for you

I could not help but cry

It cuts so deeply to say, to say goodbye

So cold, it was the fatal blow

I'll see you on the other side, again anew

I'm flying far away

I can still hear the sound of your tender play

They would not let me sing

But now they're all anew facing the west

I know I'll sing a last song for you

A last note to you

A last song for you

A last song for you

This is my last song for you
