Last Song for Mother Lyrics & Tabs by Nanci Griffith
Last Song for Mother
guitar chords lyrics
(Nanci Griffith)
If I promise not to cry
Will you look me in the eye
And tell me that you've known me?
I was your late, your lonely child
I am enhanced by all you've shown me
And in my youth I did defy you to the end
Please forgive my wildness then
Even I can't comprehend
What a mother's love has lent
To all that is me
And will you sing this song again?
Let us sing it hand in hand
While the band is till playing
Before the light can loose your hand
Let us sing it hand in hand
While the band is till playing
Before the light can loose your hand
Before I lose my voice again
Let us sing while it's playing
And if I promise not to cry
Please look me in the eye
And say you've truly known me
'Tis the sweet sound of goodbye
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Between your soul and mine
If I promise not to cry
If I promise not to cry
