It's the last dance, we've come
to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down,
they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of
us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like
this forever and more
It the last song, they're
playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're
sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will
we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me
tight
Through the last dance, each
beat of the last dance
Save me the first dance in your
dreams tonight
<instrumental-strings and
clarinet>
They're wondering just when will
we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me
tight
Through the last dance, each
beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in
your dreams tonight
