LOVE FOR THE LAST TIME

by Carole King



Seems funny now to think of how I call you up

to talk about all the little things

that were in my mind

You were a friend,

you listened to all I dreamed of

I wanted a real love,

the good old fashioned kind.



It was you all along

You who kept me strong.

I wonder how I could've been so blind

You kissed me like a lover,

loved me like a friend

And I'm in love for the last time.



I got burned,seems like everybody does,by romance

Still I yearn and though I didn't know just what it was,

I got a second chance.



Just think of it,

If we had missed the moment,

we might have spent the years ahead

believing love had passed

I found a love to last a lifetime

I'm in love for the last time,

and time will make it last.



It was you all along,

You who kept me strong

I don't know how I could've been so blind.

You kissed me like a lover,

loved me like a friend

And I'm in love for the last time



It was you all along

you who kept me strong...
