If This Was The Last Song Lyrics by Peter Straker

If This Was The Last Song (7" Single)

1970

[Verse]
If this was your last month
Or this was your last week
You'd be so careful
With each precious day
And if this was your last hour
Or this your last moment
You'd be so careful
To live the right way!
[Chorus]
And if this was the last song
That you had ever heard
You'd want to hear it
All the way through
And if this was the last song
That I had ever sung
I'd want it to be about you...
(Ooooh oooh ooooh oooh)
[Verse]
If you were a soldier
And this was your last fight
Would you be careful?
Or would you be brave?
If you were a banker
And this was your last night
The money that you spent
Would be all that you saved!
[Chorus]
And if this was the last song
That you had ever heard
You'd want to hear it
All the way through
And if this was the last song
That I had ever sung
I'd want it to be about you...
(Ooooh oooh ooooh oooh)
About you... About...
(Oooh oooh ooooh)
And if this was the last song
That you had ever heard
You'd want to hear it
All the way through
And if this was the last song
That I had ever sung
I'd want it to be about you...
(Ooooh oooh ooooh oooh)
(Ooooh oooooh ooooooh)
