One Last Time

By Bruce Clifford

Just a memory
A brief moment in time
Flashes by me
One last time

Just a photograph
Time in a trance
Voices and noisy laughs
One last time

One last time to be strong
One last time to fight on
One last time to be wrong
One last time

A memory wall
The exchange of words
You stand, you fall
The message is heard

Just a photograph
The scent of the rain
The fork, the road, the path
The end of the game

One last moment to be strong
One last reason to write a song
One last second to move along
One last time to be wrong
One last time to be strong
One last time all along
One last time

Just a memory
A brief moment in time
Flashes by me
One last time
