The Last Dance
He made his way across the smelly old gym,
Past beautiful girls, gorgeous guys,
Eyes on me, he continued to make his way
towards me.
Extending an arm,
he asked me for my hand and a dance.
Smiling, I gave him my hand
without another thought
to dance with my beloved
on this one last night,
this one last dance.
He pulled me onto the dance floor,
smack dab in the middle of the floor.
It felt so right for his arms to be around me
'Cause you know
I love him so much
In his safe arms, I'm warm and loved
My head was buried on his chest
I could feel his heart beat against my head
I could feel his heat where ever he touched me
'Cause you know
I love him so much
But the song ended so soon
As did the night
We went to a senior party
Where the night ended way too soon
Full of life and love
he covered me with his body to protect me
As a car collided with ours.
His arms were still around me
I can still remember him faintly whispering
With blood dripping down his perfect face
'Cause you know
I love him so much
His arms are still around me,
His lips are pressed against my forehead.
He's right here,
But he feels so far.
His last breath was to tell me
that he loved me,
Even though he's smiling,
his body's so cold;
I never want to let him go.
'Cause you know
I love him so much
It's too late for him to come back.
I can't live my life as I planned,
He's left me, he's not around anymore;
I can't ever see him again,
hug or kiss him,
not even see his beautiful smile
or hear his happy laughter.
I can still remember that last dance
With his mouth brushing against my ear
whispering three words over and over again,
His arms tightly wrapped against me,
His warmth kept me from the cold.
'Cause you know
I love him so much
it's
unbearable that he's gone.
That last dance,
I never intended to ever let him go.
