With Your Last Look
J. Scott Smith
There used to be
Right over there
The best of me
Without a care
And there once was
Upon a time
A love because
Once you were mine
I used to know
When morning rose
Our love would grow
Now I suppose
If grow it had
I wouldn't be
Grown over sad
If you loved me
Darling can't you see
That what used to be
Is everything you've left for me
Ever since you took
With your last look
Everything away from me?
These days I wait
For what I know
Can never sate
Nor ever slow
This longing pang
This fading hope
On which I hang
By fraying rope
Darling, can't you see
That what used to be
Is everything you've left for me
Ever since you took
With your last look
Everything away from me?
There used to be
Right over there
The best of me
Not like you care
