the  last  worthless  evening  -  don  henley

  i  know  you  broke  up  with  him

    and  your  hearts  still  on  the  shelf

    its  been  over  two  years  for  me

    and  im  still  not  quite  myself

    you  cant  be  with  someone  new

    and  you  cant  go  back  to  him

    youre  beginning  to  realize

    that  its  sink  or  swim

    i  see  you  around  sometimes

    and  my  heart  just  melts

    youre  lookin  like  if  you  had  your  wish

  youd  be  somewhere  else

    and  it  just  breaks  my  heart

    to  see  you  here  this  way

    someday  ill  get  the  nerve

    to  walk  up  to  you  and  say

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend

    just  gimme  a  chance

    to  show  you  how  to  love  again

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend

    cause  ill  be  there

    when  your  broken  heart  is  on  the  mend

    every  night  its  the  same  old  crowd

    in  smoky  rooms

    you  catch  a  faint  glimpse  of  love  sometimes

    but  it  never  blooms

    ive  been  around  this  block  a  time  or  two

    and  ive  made  some  big  mistakes

  but  girl  i  promise  you,  i  promise  you

    that  this  is  the  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend

    just  gimme  a  chance

    to  show  you  how  to  love  again

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend

    cause  it  wont  be  long

    till  your  little  heart  is  on  the  mend

    people  inside  their  houses

    with  the  shades  pulled  down

    god  knows,  we  could  use  some  romance

    in  this  sleepy  bedroom  town

    i  know  youre  still  afraid  to  rush  into  anything

    but  therere  just  so  many  summers

    and  just  so  many  springs

    and  this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend

    just  gimme  to  a  chance  show  you  how

    to  love  again

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend,  baby

    cause  ill  be  there  when  your  broken  heart

  is  on  the  mend

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

  that  youll  have  to  spend

    just  gimme  a  chance,  gimme  a  chance

  to  show  you  how  to  love  again

    this  is  the  last  worthless  evening

    that  youll  have  to  spend  cause  it  wont  be  long

    til  your  little  heart  is  on  the  mend
