LYRICS:

Wayne Cochran - Last Kiss

Chorus

Where, oh where, could my baby be?
The Lord has taken her away from me.
She's gone to heaven,
So I've got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave
This world.

Verse 1:

We were out on a date,
In my daddy's car.
We hadn't driven
Very far.

There in the road,
Straight ahead.
A car was stalled,
The engine was dead.

I couldn't stop,
So I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget
The sound that night.

The cryin' tires,
The bustin' glass.
The painful scream
That I heard last.

Chorus

Verse 2:

When I woke up
The rain was pouring down.
There were people standin'
All along.

Something warm,
Running in my eyes.
But I found my baby
Somehow that night.

I moved her head,
She looked and smiled.
Said, "Hold me darling,
For a little while."

I held her close,
I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love
That I knew I had missed.

Well now she's gone,
Even though I held her tight.
I lost my love, my life
That night.

Chorus

Sorry, but this is one of those examples where a cover IS superior to the original; meaning Pearl Jam's. But kudos to Cochran for writing the original.

[glitternglozz]

Damon and Elena are going to dance to this song!! CAN.NOT.WAIT!

[marcel0gyn]

Well... i prefer Pearl Jam singing ^^

[Koelker12]

@4sativa20 that's fine man, I'll agree it's annoying when people are ignorant to the original version of songs, and 90 percent of the time I'll say the original is superior to a cover. But this, for me at least, is an exception to the rule. If you prefer Cochran's then power to you man, and to each his own

[4sativa20]

@ernestryles my opinion on the j frank's version was more like when elvis stole little walters version of my babe at the time people liked it more becuz it was with a band that was more out there on the radio but its still a good version i prefer the original i know i have my opinion and everyone has there own so don't attack me about the elvis comment i know nowadays people know that little walter did the original but thats bcuz it all took place over 50 yrs ago but yeah thats mine

[4sativa20]

@Koelker12 yes listen and feel the music. pearl jam did the cover as a homage to wayne cocrans but that version didn't catch me like wayne cocran did yes i like the version pearl jam did because i heard it first and i loved it but when i heard the original i really can't put it into words but yes feel the fucking song all i said was the original is way better then pearl jams but some people hear covers before the original and always think there better but i don't

[ernestryles]

@4sativa20 whats your opinion on the j frank wilson verison?

[ernestryles]

@ColorfulHyena why does no one seem to know the j frank wilson verison? i feel its better than this, and pearl jams is good as well

[ColorfulHyena]

I think they're just as good as each other... Pearl Jam's version and this.

[Koelker12]

@4sativa20 I "don't know how to feel" the song? Alright, cool man.

[4sativa20]

@Koelker12 yeah fucking right the original is way better you just don't know how to feel the song you probably heard pearl jam before wayne cocran like i did but i like the original way better

[stratocsater]

oh shit
