The Last Thing You Do

(album: High Valley - 2010)

He hung up the phone without saying goodbye
Kept his eyes on the road and his fists clinched tight
It was all over something that didn't matter at all
But he just had to tell her that she was wrong

Then a car swirled, his life flashed right before his eyes
As he slammed on those brakes a voice whispered inside

If the last thing you did was the last thing you do
If the last word you said was the last breath you drew
Would you be OK with the way they remember you
If the last thing you did was the last thing you do

He caught his breath thanked God he was alive
Then a thousand regrets ran through his mind
Like his son's baseball game that he missed last night
All those times he worked late, now he wondered why

Oh and leaving this morning with no goodbye kiss
He sat there trembling, thinking what if...

The last thing you did was the last thing you do
If the last word you said was the last breath you drew
Would you be OK with the way they remember you
If the last thing you did was the last thing you do

He pulled his car on the shoulder
Wiped a tear as he picked that phone up
And he told her how much he loved her
And now he can't say it enough

If the last thing you did was the last thing you do
If the last word you said was the last breath you drew
Would you be OK with the way they remember you
If the last thing you did, if the last thing you did
If the last thing you did was the last thing you do
Oh, the last thing you do
