Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner - 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 turnin'

In your hand, in your hand

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh i could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'

Round and round, round and round

Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'

Underground, underground

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh i could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

I've got reason a plenty for goin

This i know, this i know

The weeds have been steadily growin'

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've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

Are you going away

With no word of farewell

Will there be not a trace left behind

Oh i could've loved you better

Didn't mean to be unkind

You know that was the last thing on my mind

You know that was the last thing on my mind
