Last Song (For Lester) Songtext
von Cassandra Wilson

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 were 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
The last song for you
My last note to you
The last song for you
This last song is for you
I could not help but cry It cut so deeply to say, to say goodbye
So cold, it was the fatal blow
I'll see you on the other side again I know
I'm flying far away
I can still hear the sound of your tenor play
They would not let me sing, but now we′re all alone
Facing the west and now I′ll sing
The last song for you
My last note to you
My last song for you
The last song for you
This is my last song for you
