Last Dance
Years ago, someone caught my eye
The smell of perfume and her beauty as she passed by
She sad just finished a dance and was exiting the floor
I was shy but asked if she could dance once more
She placed her tiny hands in mine, and we started to dance
Never knowing it would lead to a lifelong romance
We danced together and partnered as one
Enjoying each other and having fun
We danced with our children and their children too
Loving each dance was the right thing to do
I still dance and listen to our very first song
But now I dance old and alone
The dance floor is empty, and my partners gone
I still dance and listen to our favorite song
The music's fading and my legs are too
Sometimes I'm just lost, not knowing what to do
My dancing shoes are dusty. I've put them away
Hoping to dance with her in heaven someday
Without my partner, it ended the chance
Of ever having our final dance.
