Lyrics
She was his sweetheart back in those days when Elvis was cool, she had the Beatles craze. They graduated, and she left for school as he waved goodbye and cried like a fool.
'Cause he thought it'd be the last time that he'd see her in this lifetime. So he waved and bid her goodbye, 'cause he thought it'd be the last time.
She got to school and was all alone. So she walked down the hall and picked up the phone. She dialed his number, and when he answered he said, "When we waved goodbye, I thought it was the end...
"Yeah, I thought it'd be the last time that I'd see you in this lifetime. So I waved and bid you goodbye, 'cause I thought it'd be the last time."
She packed her bags and said goodbye to her friends. She came back home and married him instead. Now thirty years later he stands by her bed crying and praying 'cause he knows what's ahead...
He knew then it'd be the last time that he'd see her in this lifetime. So he waited up all night, 'cause he knew it'd be the last time.
But this will not be the last time 'cause he'll see her up in God's time, 'cause they both gave Him their lives. No this will not be the last time. Praise God, this will not be the last time!
