When I lost my way You were my light When the others wronged me You did me right When I look in your eyes Don't tell me lies You tell me the truth Your words, they get me through This is all I've got This is all I'd say If this were my last day This is my last song It's all I got If I bare my soul Don't you break my heart Won't you sing along This is my last song It's all I got So don't you break my heart Wrote down these words Put them in this song I play it for you Pray they don't come out wrong Cause all I've gots my word I give it to you Now it may not be much It's the best that I can do This is all I've got This is all I say So please don't walk away This is my last song It's all I got If I bare my soul Don't you break my heart Won't you sing along This is my last song It's all I got So don't you break my heart If this were my last breath Of my last day My last chance This is what I'd say I thank you for the laughter Sorry for the tears Time to say goodbye I say goodbye After all these years You shouldn't have broke my heart
