The Last Time I Saw Her Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

The Last Time I Saw Her Lyrics

    The last time i saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
    The last time she spoke to me, her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
    But that was so long ago that i can scarcely feel the way i felt before
    And if time could heal the wounds, i would tear the threads away that i might bleed some more
    The last time i walked with her
    Her laughter was the steeple bells
    That ring to greet the morning sun
    A voice that called to everyone
    To love the ground she walked upon
    Those were good day

    The last time i held her hand, her touch was autumn, spring and summer, and winter too
    The last time i let go of her, she walked a way into the night
    I lost her in the misty streets, a thousand months, a thousand miles
    When other lips will kiss her eyes
    A million miles beyond the moon, that's where she is

    But that was so long ago that i can scarcely feel the way i felt before
    And if time could heal the wounds, i would tear the threads away that i might bleed some more
    The last time i saw her face, her eyes were bathed in starlight and she walked alone

    The last time she kissed my cheek
    Her lips were like the wilted leaves
    Upon the autumn covered hills
    Resting on the frozen ground
    The seeds of love lie cold and still
    Beneath a battered marking stone
    It lies forgotten
