[Verse 1]
Dear Shirley Jean, I hope this finds you good
I wanted to write, but didn't know if I should
So many years now that I lost what is real
But I still remember how you made me feel

From boys home to boys home 'til I was eighteen
Sent me to prison, they said I was mean
And as young as I was I could handle my own
The men that I dealt with I left cold stone

[Chorus}
It's the last night that I'll see your face
Daydreams of you were my sweetest place
Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go
It's my last night and I thought you should know

[Verse 2]
Writing these words don't come easy to me
But I've run out of time and soon I'll be free
And you were the only one I ever had
The only bright spot in a life that went bad

The years they have past, but I got through them all
With a wallet size picture of you on my wall
And the way that you kissed me without regret
It's something my heart will never forget
[Chorus}
It's the last night that I'll see your face
Daydreams of you were my sweetest place
Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go
It's my last night and I thought you should know

[Bridge]
When they flip the switch I hope all I can see
Is you in my arms dancing with me
In this cold world I did all I could do
I never had love but the closest was you

[Chorus}
It's the last night that I'll see your face
Daydreams of you were my sweetest place
Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go
It's my last night and I thought you should know
It's my last night, I thought you should know
