The Last Song is the second single by Sir Elton John from the album The One. The song may be a tribute to his father who died in 1992.
There are also rumours of it being written in the memory of Ryan White, a young AIDS patient who died at age 18, with whom John was close.
The song was used during a closing montage featuring people who died of AIDS (including White himself) at the end of the 1993 film And the Band Played On.
