last love song

from summer after god by Jeff Gladstone

/

about

This song was improvised near the end.

"I still love you, but i love your power more. And i can't keep it to myself anymore."

lyrics

on a sunday night
i just can t sleep without you
so i sit at the piano
and i make up a tune

this might be the last love song that i write for you
you better enjoy it

there were some in 3/4 time
and some in 5/4 time too
and some with a sweet little chorus you could sing
a fancy little melody that anyone could whistle too

but this one is just for you
it s a lonely one armed man duet
and its got all the flagrant lack of sentimentality
of dorothy parker s last cigarette

you don t have that old sparkly that you did when we met
that don t say much for me
maybe the best thing to ever happen to you
just ain t happened yet

so please don t cry
and don t say goodbye
to the lovin kindness
that you ve got to give to the world

cuz i still love you
but i love your power more
and i can t keep it to myself anymore

baby you are the best
but i got to push you out of the nest
you got wings all your own
and we all want to see you soar

but i m not bein kind
i need more than you got
you got enough for this world
but not enough for my heart

so sail away
wave goodbye
blow me
one big fat wet kiss
as you sail in your new life
without me
girl

cuz i still love you
but i love your power more

baby this is how the
last
love
song
ends
