I agree with VickyD that the most heartbreaking part of the song comes right after this verse, but this paints a picture in my mind that is impossible to shake. An innocent moment - a date with your sweetheart - quickly turns into a nightmare that is very obviously not going to end well. Such a sad song.
Last Kiss
Lyrics
Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin' tires, the bustin' glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down
There were people standing all around
Something warm falling through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me, darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I'd miss
Well, now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night
Oh, where, oh, where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to Heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh (hey)
Ooh ooh
Oh ooh
Oh ooh
Oh ooh, yeah
Oh

What is the Meaning of Last Kiss
?
This is probably the most heartbreaking part in a song. The description is incredibly vivid. To be in the middle of the road, holding someone's head and realizing that the person is sharing his/her last words and the kiss that will come between the two will be the last one. There is no turning back from that.
