I GAVE YOU A SMILE
ON THAT COLD SUNDAY NIGHT
AS WE WALKED 'NEATH THE HALO
OF THE STATION HOUSE LIGHT

THEN YOU HELD ME SO TIGHTLY
WAS THAT A TEAR IN YOUR EYE
YOU KNEW I'D BE LEAVING
ON THE LAST TRAIN TONIGHT

THEN YOU GAVE ME THAT LOOK
THAT NO MONEY COULD BUY
NO WORDS NEED BE SPOKEN
AS I GAZED IN YOUR EYES

THEN YOU KISSED ME SO SOFTLY
I WISHED THAT I COULD STOP TIME
BUT TIME WON'T BE WAITING
FOR THE LAST TRAIN TONIGHT

CAN'T YOU HEAR THE WHISTLE BLOWING
CAN YOU SEE THE HEADLIGHT
WON'T YOU PLEASE HOLD ME
LIKE YOU'LL NEVER LET ME GO
BEFORE I LEAVE TONIGHT
AND I'LL WIPE ALL OF THOSE TEARS
RIGHT FROM YOUR EYES

YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU
WITH A LOVE THAT WON'T DIE
AS I LOOK THRU THE WINDOW
AND THE RAINDROPS OUTSIDE
AND I CAN SEE YOU WAVING
ON THE PLATFORM GOODBYE

AS YOU WATCHED ME LEAVING
ON THE LAST TRAIN TONIGHT
AND YOU KNOW I'LL BE LEAVING
ON THE LAST TRAIN TONIGHT
AND YOU KNOW I'LL BE LEAVING
ON THE LAST TRAIN TONIGHT
