Dance

Where have the dances gone

You stand on the floor with the music on

Bright lights freeze

And you stand in one place

You look down to see my face

You take my hand

There we stand lost in our own subtle grace

And slowly we start to move

The only dancers in the room

And I know in my mind

I've been here a thousand times

Times

Times I have dreamed of this

A quiet dance followed by a gentle kiss

But just for now I will hold you in my arms

We'll laugh at life and wish for charm

And pray to God Oh my God

How long can this go on

And as we prove across the floor

What we've never done before

And for once I'm a character of heart

Have you ever played the part

Where

Where has the music gone

The music fades and people move on

And in the shadow of the light

Like a thief taking flight

It's time for me to say goodnight

It's all the same as before

Your eyes walk me to the door

And then this guy takes my hand

The one his friends call my man

Forever lost in your glance

It's our last dance
