It's the last dance of the night
But I can't let her go
For all too soon I must say goodbye
So I want to take this slow
She spins with me across the floor
Her dress swirling 'round her feet
Her eyes, they sparkle in the light
My heart, it skips a beat
I want to dance with her forever
Yet I know it cannot be
Eventually this song must come to an end
Though the ending's abrupt to me
There's much between us left unsaid
An edge to every greeting
Unanswered questions, misconceptions
At every turn and meeting
Those eyes gleam, her eyebrow arches
Questions me, oh so cryptically
My heart pounds a little louder
Time slows, dismissing reality
I want to dance with her forever
Yet I know it cannot be
For this song will soon come to its end
Though the ending's abrupt to me
She curtsies to me swiftly,
I take my final bow
I look after her as she walks away,
Tell myself 'she must be mine, somehow'
But she doesn't know I love her
Disdains me, yet can't she see?
She thinks I look at her but to find fault
In truth, she's flawless to me
I want to dance with her forever
Yet I know this can never be
For all songs indeed come to their ends
Though this ending's abrupt to me
