I walk through my front door
She's right there like the day before
Saying, "Daddy, please, play with me"
Right there in the living room
In a pony tail and ballet shoes
I spinned her 'round, she says out loud:
"I wish this song would last forever"

Dance, baby, dance
I don't ever wanna leave this moment
Dance, baby, dance
'Cause right now I know I'm the only one
Baby, dance
Dance, baby, dance 
Baby, dance

One day she'll pack up to leave
She'll kiss her mom and then kiss me
And say, "Goodbye, dad, are you alright?"
I'll just smile and tell her 'yes'
And try to hide this big old mess
Inside my heart as she starts the car
That's why I wish this song would last forever

Dance, baby, dance
I don't ever wanna leave this moment
Dance, baby, dance
'Cause right now I know I'm the only one
Baby, dance
Dance, baby, dance
Baby, dance

And I know there's gonna come a time
When she'll be there all dressed in white
And I'll take her hand for one last dance

Dance, baby, dance
I don't ever wanna leave this moment
Dance, baby, dance
'Cause right now I know I'm the only one
Baby, dance
I don't ever wanna leave this moment
Dance, baby, dance
'Cause right now I know I'm the only one
Baby, dance
Dance, baby, dance
Baby, dance
Baby, dance
