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
