Around The Bend

Wallace Dean LaBenne

One last hug
One last kiss
One last warm hello
One last walk around the bend
Then I will let you go

One last show
One last dance
One last onstage play
One last walk around the bend
Then I will fade away

One last touch
One last talk
One last tender look
One last walk around the bend
Then I will close the book

One last shout
One last smile
One last burning cry
One last walk around the bend
Then I will say goodbye
