Lyrics Last Words - Steve Earle

I was there when you were born
Took you from your momma's arms
Stood in awe, a witness to
The first breath that you ever drew
I wish I could have held you when
You left this world like I did then
Last time we spoke was on the phone
And we hung up and now you're gone
Last thing I said was, "I love you"
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
I don't know why you hurt so bad
Just know you did, it makes me sad
Said everything I meant to say
Could not make it go away
Wherever you are traveling now
It doesn't matter anyhow
Can't help but wonder if you knew
You took a part of me with you
Last thing I said was, "I love you"
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
You made me laugh, you made me cry
Showed me truth, you told me lies
Tore my heart apart and then
You brought me back the piece again
Now I don't know what I'll do
Until the day I follow you
Through the darkness to the light
'Cause I loved you for all your life
Last thing I said was, "I love you"
And your last words to me were, "I love you too"
I love you too
