Mark Heard - The Last Time lyrics

This could be the last time I awake This could be the last breath that I take This could be the last time that I pray This could be the day I fly away This could be the last time I sing a song This could be the day I say so long This could be the last meal that I eat This could be the last beat my heart beats But I can't place such a bet So I won't just sit and fret Until I'm gone This could be the last day my eyes see This could be the last day you see me This could be the last night in my bed This could be the last thought in my head I won't cast my life to the wind I'll treasure as much as I can While I can, I can Though I may be gone before too long As long as I am here I'll sing this song This could be the last time This could be the last time This could be the last time...
