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
