J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers – “Last Kiss” 1964

Pearl Jam introduced this to a new audience when they released it as a single in 1999. Their version also went to #2.

LYRICS TO “LAST KISS”:

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy’s car.
We hadn’t driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead …
The car was stalled, the engine was dead.

I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right.
Never forget the sound that night …
The cryin’ tires, the bustin’ glass.
The painful scream that I heard last.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

Well, when I woke up, the rain was pourin’ down.
There were people standing all around.
Something warm running in my eyes,
But I found my baby somehow that night.

I raised her head, and when she smiled, and said,
“Hold me darling for a little while.”
I held her close. I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I would miss.

But now she’s gone, even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love … my life, that night.

Well, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
