Harris, Emmylou - (Lost His Love) On Our Last Date Lyrics
It's over our love affair
Too late now I find I care
His sweet love no more I'll share
Now he's gone I'm alone
I was wrong should have known
I search for a single way
To tell him what I had to say
I kissed him watched him walk away
Set him free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date
Took the ring from my trembling fingers
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know that
Guess I was too young to realize
So blind I couldn't see
how much he really meant to me
And that soon he would always be
On my mind in my heart I was blind from the start
Lost his love on our last date

Best I have heard this song sang l GREAT!
This is a remake, with a gender change, of Conway Twitty’s number one hit from 1972, “(Lost Her Love) On Our Last Date.” But what Twitty recorded was, sort of, also a remake – though with his own lyrics – of a 1960 top five country hit by Skeeter Davis called “My Last Date (With You).” This song featured lyrics written by Davis and Boudleaux Bryant (who wrote hits for the Everly Brothers). What the three songs have in common is that their lyrics were all written to the melody of pianist Floyd Cramer’s top five 1960 piano instrumental called – wait for it – “Last Date.”
Confused? Okay, here’s how it went:
In 1960 Cramer, a top Nashville session pianist, wrote and released a hit instrumental called “Last Date.” Later that same year, Davis and Bryant wrote lyrics to it, named it “My Last Date (With You),” and Davis recorded it. A little over a decade later, Twitty threw out Davis and Bryant’s lyrics and wrote his own (still using Cramer’s melody), and recorded “(Lost Her Love) On Our Last Date.” And finally, Harris, another decade later, recorded a version using Twitty’s lyrics, but changing the gender, and released “(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date,” which not only provided her with another number one hit, but also with the name of her live album. In the three singles, the theme is always the same – a relationship is going to end and this is going to be the last date this couple will ever have. So no matter who wrote the words, the concept of the lyrics was always based on Cramer’s original title and his melody.
When Harris recorded the song, she not only introduced it to a new generation, but also endeared herself to the old-school country folks who’d slow danced to Cramer’s record at Moose lodges more than two decades earlier. The album featuring “(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date” didn’t sell all that well, but the single topped that charts, partly because of its long history and the familiarity of Cramer’s melody. And since Cramer was a co-writer on everyone’s version, it meant mailbox money for him for decades. Talk about a career record.
stevieray56 it's a remake of Floyd Kramers last dance.. 100 versions have topped the charts since then
The Statler Brothers also recorded a version on stage with Floyd Cramer
