J. Frank Wilson & the Cavaliers
Last Kiss
(1964)

E  C♯m  A  B  (basse)

     E                      C♯m
  Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
  A                 B
  The lord took her away from me
  E                         C♯m
  She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
     A                        B          E       (stop)  b c♯ d♯
  So I can see my baby when I leave this world
 
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead

I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The cryin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last

  Refrain

Well, when I woke up the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm runnin' in my eyes
But I found my baby somehow that night

I raised her head, and when she smiled and said
"Hold me darlin' for a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss

But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night

  Refrain

E  C♯m  A  B  x 2  w/ hmm
