[Intro] [Verse] Dear Shirley Jean I hope this finds you good I wanted to write but didn’t know if I should So many year now that I’ve lost what is real But I still remember how you made me feel From boys home to boys home til I was eighteen Sent me to prison they said I was mean and as young as I was I could handle my own the men that I dealt with I left cold as stone [Chorus] It’s the last night that I’ll see your face Daydreams of you were my sweetest place Times taken it’s toll but I’m alright to go It’s my last night and I thought you should know [Verse] Writing these words don’t come easy to me But i’ve run out of time and soon i’ll be free you were the only one I ever had the only bright spot in a life that went bad the years they have passed but i got through them all with a wallet sized picture of you on my wall the way that you kissed me without regret is something my heart will never forget [Chorus] It’s the last night that I’ll see your face Daydreams of you were my sweetest place Times taken it’s toll but I’m alright to go It’s my last night and I thought you should know [Verse] when they flip the switch i hope all i can see is you in my arms dancing with me in this cold world i did all i could do i never had love but the closest was you [Chorus] It’s the last night that I’ll see your face Daydreams of you were my sweetest place Times taken it’s toll but I’m alright to go It’s my last night and I thought you should know It’s my last night and I thought you should know

Cette chanson évoque une lettre adressée à une personne chère, Shirley Jean, qui a marqué la vie de celui qui écrit. L'auteur se remémore des moments précieux partagés avec elle, malgré un passé tumultueux et difficile, notamment des expériences en maison de correction et en prison. La mélodie reflète une nostalgie poignante alors qu'il se prépare à une séparation définitive, exprimant à quel point cette relation a été sa seule lumière dans un monde sombre. Le contexte semble être celui d'une période de fin, où le protagoniste envisage un avenir incertain, mais il trouve du réconfort dans ses souvenirs de cette connexion spéciale. C'est une sorte d’adieu, où il souhaite que Shirley sache à quel point elle a compté pour lui, même dans les moments les plus sombres de sa vie.
