Day 19: Your Favorite Love Song
I'm a sucker for love songs with a maudlin side. We're talking lost love with the hope of a return. It was a hard choice, but I picked Last Kiss.
Specifically, I chose the cover by Pearl Jam. Granted, J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers did it first and probably best, but this is the version I happen to adore.
LYRICS
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm rollin' through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lift her head, she looked at me and said,
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I would miss.
Well now she's gone
even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night.
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Ooooo....
Ahhhh....
