Lyrics
Verse:
I remember that night so long ago
I didn't hold you tight, didn't hold you close
How I regret that night so long ago
How I would change things if I had known
Chorus:
I should have made love to you
Should have loved you the whole night through
Should have held you oh so tight
It was our last night -- our last night together
I should have made love to you
Try to make it up to you
But nothing I could do would make it right
It was our last night-- our last night together
