When the Last Light Fades

On the dusty city streets

Where the children play

There's no chance for a memory

To chase my sunshine away

I go strollin' past the opening café, and hear the music playin'

I know that life is good

I'm movin' on with the song on my lips, like I promised you that I would

When the last light fades

And the darkness falls

And the shadows play over these four walls

My mind goes driftin' back to the love I left behind

And memories of you

Are the last thing on my mind

She's makin' faces at me

With a towel perched on her head

The cotton sheets are so soft and warm

Where the sunlight reaches our bed

I don't burden her with too many stories of the past

'Cause I don't feel that's fair to her

We're happy here in this moment, and she knows I truly do care for her

But when the last light fades

And the darkness falls

When the shadows play over these four walls

My mind goes driftin' back to the love I left behind

And memories of you

Are the last thing on my mind

When the last light fades

And the darkness falls

And the shadows play over these four walls

I remember your lovin' touch even after all this time

And memories of you

Are the last thing on my mind

Oh, just so you know

You're the last thing on my mind
