Cassandra Wilson - Last Song (For Lester) lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I flew from far away

They said the last notes of your tenor played

You faded fast, now I have one regret

I couldn't hold those hands that I loved the best

You are my morning star

Forever rising, forever breaking my heart

But I'd do it, I'd do it all again

If they would only let me sing a last song for you

A last motif

A last song for you

This last song is for you

I could not help but cry

It cuts so deeply to say

To say goodbye

So cold, it rubs the fate of blue

I see round another side

Again anew

I'm flying far away

I can still hear the sound of your tender play

They would not let me sing

But now they're all anew(?!)

Facing the west

I know I'd sing a last song for you

A last note to you

A last song for you

A last song for you

This is my last song for you
