LAST KISS by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers 1964
(Lyrics might be a little off, I only had the Pearl Jam remake
to compare it to)
Well, [G]where oh where can my [Em]baby be?
[C]The Lord took her [D]away from me.
[G]She's gone to heaven, so I [Em]got to be good,
So [C] I can see my baby when I [D]leave this [G]world.
We were [G]out on a date in my [Em]daddy's car.
[C]We hadn't driven [D]very far.
[G]There in the road, [Em]straight ahead...
A [C]car was stalled, the [D]engine was dead.
[G]I couldn't stop, so I [Em]swerved to the right.
[C]Never forget the [D]sound that night...
The [G] screamin' tires, the [Em]bustin' glass.
The [C]painful scream that [D] I heard [G]last.
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
When I woke up, the rain was pourin' down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm was pouring in my eyes,
But I found my baby somehow that night.
I lifted her head, and she looked at me and 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 would miss.
But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love ... my life, that night.
Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
Ooh oooh ohhh (to the tune of the chorus)
