DANCIN' GOODBYE

I took a chance, told you how I feel Laid it all down, no cards to conceal This wasn’t the plan—meant to dance slow But holdin’ you close, girl, I had to know I let the truth fall from my lips Hopin' love would catch the slips I took a chance, let my secrets fly Your eyes said it all—we're dancin’ goodbye This wasn’t the dream when I said, "I love you" I pictured you smiling, sayin’, "I love you too" You're in my arms, and I’ve no regrets We still got this song—it’s not over yet So I close my eyes, dream sweet romance Time stands still... and I’m glad I took a chance Maybe someday, you'll think of this night How the stars leaned in, how the world felt right But if all I get is this final dance I'll still be thankful I took that chance I took a chance, let my heart be true Now I’m just dancin’ the last steps with you You're not sayin' much, but your silence is loud We're swayin' through goodbye in the arms of the crowd Yeah, I took a chance, now the moment’s past But for one slow song… I held love at last It wasn’t forever—but girl, it was real I took a chance… and I learned how love feels
