Joe Dassin - The Last Thing on My Mind Lyrics

It's a lesson too late for the learning, made of sand, made of sand.
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning in your hand, in your hand.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons aplenty for going, this I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growing.
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lay here in bed in the morning, without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a borning, without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know, that was the last thing on my mind.
