Jeff Southerland songs
Vocals: TeleMan58
Music & Production: iisee
This song was given to Jimmy Lee and Martha Sue and at his request it is posted on my page to ensure folks are thanked properly as his time is devoted to caring for Martha Sue... it is an honor to post this song on his behalf.
Jimmy Lee and Martha Sue were engaged 56 years ago on Christmas Day and have remained together ever since. Recently, Jimmy Lee shared the very sad news that Martha Sue has been very, very ill and somehow we felt we had to do something for them as just a small gesture of the affection we (and all of SongRamp) feel towards them!
Trudi shared a draft lyric with me which we re-worked a bit to fit a melody that I felt might work for it and I went to work doing the music. We tried to think of someone to do the vocal that would sing straight from their heart... and in came Carl (teleman58)?In just a couple days, he delivered a tender, caring vocal with soaring emotion ... Carl, thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your heart on this project...
While this is definitely a sad song, I think that it does capture some of the realities of life in a straightforward and honest way.
Jimmy Lee this song is dedicated to you and your sweet Martha Sue... I hope somehow it gives you both some comfort and brings back the sweetest memories you have shared all these years... This song is a little piece of our hearts that goes out to you, Jimmy Lee and Martha Sue... you are both an inspiration to the SongRamp family!
With prayers, comforting thoughts, and much love...
One Last Time
Cross/Southerland
Verse One
If I could take your pain away
Give you a lifetime in just a day
I?d grab the moon just for you
There?s nothin? I wouldn?t do
For One Last Time?.
If I could take your place
Put one last smile there on your face
I?d wipe away all your tears
Look back on all our happy years
One last time
Chorus
I?ll wash ? away your tears
I?ll wish?. away your fears
I?ll whisper?.Oh darlin? stay
I?d hold you forever?..just like today
One Last Time?
Verse Two
If I could make your wishes true
Share another lifetime ? just me and you
There?s nothing I wouldn?t try
If you?d never have to cry
One Last Time?
If I could change our fate
Ask the Lord if he?d just wait
For one last kiss, one last touch
One last moment means so much
One last time?.
