[Intro]
x4
[Verse]
Iâve been hanging up the laundry
Fixing my husbandâs lunch
Mom and Dadâs working the garden
And Iâve got a hunch
That Iâve died and gone to heaven
I think it because
This is the best that it ever was
[Chorus]
Itâs the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
Itâs the last song of the evening
Itâs the last song of the night
[Verse]
I raised three healthy boys and very little hell
I was a country girl, but I lived to tell
About riveting bombers during World War Two
I met a blue-eyed man who thought I hung the moon
He carved me a heart out of a walnut tree
He loved me, he loved me
[Chorus]
Itâs the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
Love came down and found me
Now itâs the last song of the night
[Solo]

[Verse]
Itâs getting late, thatâs what the weatherman said
Iâm dog tired and Iâm ready for bed
Iâm pulling up the covers all alone
But Iâll be waking up in a carpenterâs arms
My childrenâs children wonât miss me thatâs true
But I guess I did what I came here to do
[Outro]
Itâs the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
Itâs the last song of the evening
Itâs the last song of the night
Itâs the last song of the night
