Lyrics

This Last Request

(Jacob Landers/BMI)

The golden years have slipped upon us
I can see the wrinkles in your face
And each silver line tells a story
Of the one true love that no one can replace

The leaves were fallin’ in September
Long shadows crept across the golden plain
It was there we made our vows together
And I’d do the same all o’er again

CHORUS:
Bury me in the garden, love,
Where the flowers bloom so sweet
Let their petals fall around me, love,
While I’m sleeping in sweet peace

Our children all have grown and married
Through the years I’ve loved you just the same
I can see we’re nearing life’s crossroad
So please just grant this one request

CHORUS
