The Last Question (In The Dead Of The Night) Songtext
von Mickey Newbury

How can I feel so alive with you darlin′?
In the dead of the night
Why do I reach out for you every mornin'?
At the first sign of light

How could I not know you knew you were leavin′?
How could I not realize?
How could I not know you were pretending?
Where did the truth lie in your eyes?


Where does the truth lie in your eyes?
Why do I feel so much love for you darlin'?
Feel so much love deep inside
Oh why do I still feel alive with you darlin'?
Here in the dead of the night

How could I not know you were only pretending?
How could I not realize?
How could I not know you knew you were leaving?
Where did the truth lie in your eyes?

Where did the truth lie in your eyes?
In the dead of the night
