Last Song Of The Evening

Intro: x4 Verse I’ve been hanging up the laundry Fixing my husband’s lunch Mom and Dad’s working the garden And I’ve got a hunch That I’ve died and gone to heaven I think it because This is the best that it ever was It’s the last song of the evening Everything turned out alright It’s the last song of the evening It’s the last song of the night Verse I raised three healthy boys and very little hell I was a country girl, but I lived to tell About riveting bombers during World War Two I met a blue-eyed man who thought I hung the moon He carved me a heart out of a walnut tree He loved me, he loved me It’s the last song of the evening Everything turned out alright Love came down and found me Now it’s the last song of the night Solo x4 x2 Verse It’s getting late, that’s what the weatherman said I’m dog tired and I’m ready for bed I’m pulling up the covers all alone But I’ll be waking up in a carpenter’s arms My children’s children won’t miss me that’s true But I guess I did what I came here to do Outro It’s the last song of the evening Everything turned out alright It’s the last song of the evening It’s the last song of the night It’s the last song of the night x6 x5 (fade)
