Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it my heart dear, beating this way
There's work to be done, done with a gun
There goes the bugle, I hear it say
It's the last call for love, time to say Fare thee well
Let the taps tell you all that my heart dare not tell
With your eyes in the stars of Old Glory
Can I help but be faithful to you
Till we meet on the day we're dreaming of
It's the last call for love
[Chorus]
It's the last call for love, sweetheart

The moment has come, I hear a drum
I realize that the time has come, indicated by the sound of a drum
Or is it my heart dear, beating this way
Perhaps it is just my beating heart that I am mistaking for the sound of a drum
There's work to be done, done with a gun
There is an important task that must be accomplished, perhaps with force
There goes the bugle, I hear it say
The sound of a bugle confirms the urgency of this task
It's the last call for love, time to say Fare thee well
This is the final opportunity to express my love before we must part ways
Let the taps tell you all that my heart dare not tell
The somber bugle calls will convey the depth of my emotions better than I ever could
With your eyes in the stars of Old Glory
As you gaze upon the American flag, a symbol of our country, and all that it stands for
Can I help but be faithful to you
I cannot help but feel devoted to you
Till we meet on the day we're dreaming of
Until the day when our longings come true and we are reunited
It's the last call for love
This is the final call to profess our love for each other
It's the last call for love, sweetheart
This is the final chance to express our love for each other, my dear
