One Last Song

I just wanted to post the lyrics to this song here so that I would never lose them. 

This was the last song by the Oklahoma All State Women's Choir in their concert

last month.  It was a day that will be forever etched on my heart....   a day of 

brokenness and sorrow, but also of awakening. You don't mourn unless 

something was precious to you.  It's the way we honor our memories. 

And this song was a proper goodbye.....  

"One Last Song (and then we part)
 
Come let us sing
One last song before we part.
Sing of joy and hope and sorrow
Of the true things in our hearts.
Choose for me an ancient master
Of a wonderful new-made song,
Just one condition I impose
Is this- make sure it's long.
For when the musics over
And the last chords echo fades,
Of all the time we spent together
We go our separate ways.
 
Let all our friendships never falter
And all our memories never fade.
Of all the time we spent together
And all the music we have made.
The uncounted hours spent with you
Hold a place deep in my heart.
Come lets raise a song together, 
One last song, and then we part
