The Last Time

It's a long drive every day to school

She drops him off at the north doors painted blue

He says, "I love you, Mom," before he shuts the door

Oh, every day just like the day before

But tomorrow, he's sixteen and he's got his own car now

She tells herself, he'll be fine

Everyone remembers the first time

'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this

But the thing about the last time

Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is

Grandpa and I, every Saturday

We used to walk down by the water to the big rock we named

I can't find it now, it's been too many years

I wish I took him back just one more time when he was still here

He looked fine at Christmas, same sweater, same tie

Ain't it funny how some memories fade

And some never die

Everyone remembers the first time

'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this

But the thing about the last time

Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is

So tonight, I'm kissing you like the sun ain't gonna rise

Gonna love you like it's the last time

Everyone remembers the first time

'Cause a heart knows there'll never be another like this

But the thing about the last time

Is you don't know that it's the last time till it is

You don't know that it's the last time till it is
