Dreamed In Color

Last Word

In loving memory of Jack Determan  


I told you you'd had too much to drink
I begged you not to go
And yet, you got in that car with a grin
and simply said, "I love you so"

Those were the last words you spoke
To me or anyone
You didn't take my warning
And for that, your life is done

You had said I was being dumb
When I begged you for your keys
And when I begged you not to go
You shoved me to my knees

When you closed the door on me
You gave a little wave
But, no headlights and your drunken state
You were driving to your grave

I wish I had one last chance
One last chance to say goodbye
One last chance to say I love you
One last chance before you died
