Last Man Standing

 

Lyrics

When I was a young girl
With ribbons in my hair
I looked around for daddy
But daddy wasn’t there

I’ve tried to live with open arms
Carried by the wind
But every man has let me down
And left me just like him

Girl, don’t hide your love away
Don’t lock it up inside
I couldn’t take one more break
I’ve cried all I can cry

I’ll be the last man standing
I’ll be the one to dry your eyes
The first time you let me in
Will be the last time that you cry
I’ll be the last man standing
I’ll be the lone star in your sky
You need me, you need me, believe me

I watched my mother dear
Set sail for every shore
Her eyes filled with the promise
Of findin’ love once more

I still recall so many nights
As night turned into years
My little hands reachin’ out
To wipe away her tears

Give to me those very hands
And let me lead the way
I’m so scared to let you go
But I’m afraid to stay
