Kris Kristofferson - Love is the last thing to go (audio only)

The third track from Kris Kristofferson's album This Old Road. Copyright Mr. Kristofferson and such.

Lyrics

The angels were singing a sad country song
it sounded like something of yours
with a conscience as clear as the tears in your eyes
and a heart beaten golden and pure

I felt all the feelings we set down in song
torn from the body and soul
and the fortunes that faded like stars into daylight
and the tear drops we turned into gold

every hard rocking wreck on the highway
every heart broken rule of the road
every true thing we wrote on the wind is still singing
love is the last thing to go

love is the reason we happened at all
and it paid for the damage we done
and it bought us the freedom to fall into grace
on our way to our place in the sun

every hard rocking wreck on the highway
every heart broken rule of the road
every true thing we wrote on the wind is still singing
love is the last thing to go

I love this song. Perhaps my love of KK's music and songwriting will be the last thing to go. Thanks 'robbiethesane'.

You're quite welcome. I try and pass on some Kristofferson where I can, so I'm glad others enjoy this song too.

Nice song, as wonderful and special as all the others from this album. But who is this little man in your pic? A lonesome cowboy??
