Love For The Last Time - Carole King

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...
