The band played songs from years ago,

There wasn't one we didn't know,

The singer's voice was soft and low,

The lights came on, we didn't know

<That we were the only couple on the floor that night>

<The music stopped, but you still held me tight.>

I held your body close to mine,

Your eyes were closed and so were mine.

I fell in love with you once more,

Just like a million times before.

<And we were the only couple on the floor that night>

<The music stopped, but you still held me tight.>

Then I awoke, I was alone, my dreams like you have come and gone.

Tonight I'll hold you one more time, and dream your eyes are closed like mine.

<And we'll be the only couple on the floor tonight.>

<When the music stops, you'll still hold me tight.>

<Yes, we'll be the only couple on the floor tonight.>

<When the music stops, you'll still hold me tight.>
