The Last Time

By this time, you'll be sitting on top of the world
 In your overcoat, all studded with pearls
 You might be drinking good wine
 Some real good wine out of crystal cups
 You know I'm still here in the shadows
 Tearing my heart out over love, I ain't unhappy
 I'm the same just a little more soft
 You know I'd ask you for a piece of your time
 But I wouldn't know how much it'd cost
 It's the last time you'll ever see my face again
 As long as you breathe
 So going out, add another voice to life's great song
 We all knew you had it in you all along
 But I'd climb the tallest mountain for you
 So while you're leaving, you take what's yours
 And I'll take what's mine and we'll both call it even
 But boy, don't let those gravediggers in sight
 And don't ever pour too much of your heart out
 If you ain't got no place to hide
 It's the last time you'll ever see my face again
 As long as you breathe
 You destroy my mind, I think about it all the time
 You've given me a piece of your soul
 Just like I've given a piece of mine
 But boy, get your wagon to a star
 'Cause there's a thousand people who would kill
 To be right where you are
 These nights I just stay up and watch the stars climb the hills
 And know I wish that I could say, I could be as bright as them
 But I know that we never will
 It's the last time you'll ever see my face again
 As long as you breathe
 You destroy my mind
