Skeeter Davis - Final Step lyrics

rate me

(Marie Wilson - Skeeter Davis)

In desperation and despair up to the bridge I climbed these stairs

Because I love someone who don't love me

When I take the final step all my heartaches will be left

For that step will mean I'll take my life from me.

The final step for me will be my destiny

Life without him is a life I cannot face

My final step will be into eternity

And the bottom of the river will be my resting place.

Thought that somehow I'd forget but his mem'ry haunts me yet

And he wanted someone else in place of me

Since he never can be mine there's no future I can find

But the chilling waters wait to welcome me.

The final step for me will be my destiny

Life without him is a life I cannot face

My final step will be into eternity

And the bottom of the river will be my resting place...
