Last Song (For Lester) Lyrics

I flew from far away
They said the last notes of your tenor played
You faded fast, now I have one regret
I couldn't hold those hands that I loved the best

You are my morning star
Forever rising, forever breaking my heart
But I'd do it, I'd do it all again
If they would only let me sing a last song for you

A last motif
A last song for you
This last song is for you

I could not help but cry
It cuts so deeply to say
To say goodbye
So cold, it was the final blow
I see round another side
Again anew

I'm flying far away
I can still hear the sound of your tender play
They would not let me sing
But now they're all anew
Facing the west

I know I'd sing a last song for you
A last note to you
A last song for you
A last song for you

This is my last song for you
