Lyrics
LOVE'S LAST SHOT
Before I fade away
Evaporate completely
May I know one last happy hour
Spent with someone sweetly
I know (I know) it's an awful lot to ask
But there must be someone equal to the task
I'm running out of time and fast (fast)
No longer young
That vibrant glow is fading
Still a pretty face can
Can make you dream of escapading
Put your ante in the pot
To take Love's Last Shot
More to look back on
Then to look ahead to
So many things to say
But no one that they may be said to
Better give it all you've got
Could be Love's Last Shot
So much to offer (So much!)
But no one wants to take it
Uh. You may not find me fanciful
Might you agree to fake it?
Once upon a time
All the fillies would corral you
Now it seems you can't get one
To. to recognize your value
No longer sweet, no longer hot
Time for Love's Last Shot
(I'll take a shot, Mike.)
I hope you will forgive me
I know this may sound a little cheesy
But uh. I want you to know
This tender tiger tames so easy
Where. where did they all go?
And why. why did they desert you?
Can't they see, behind that seasoned smile
There's still some virtue?
Pick a card, spin the wheel, cast your lot
If you lose you can sit, drink and rot
Dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot
Here's to Love's last shot
