Save One Dance for Me

Verse 1 Turn the lights down just a little, Leave the curtains open wide. There’s an old song on the radio We haven’t heard in quite some time. Come a little closer, darling, Put your hand right here in mine. We don’t have to say a single word, We’ve said them all a thousand times. Chorus Give me one more dance, Like the first one long ago. When I was scared to hold you close, And you were scared to let me know. Let the whole world keep on turning, We’ve got nowhere else to be. Give me one more dance, my darling… And leave the rest to me. Verse 2 I remember that blue dress you wore, And the ribbon in your hair. I stepped twice upon your new shoes, You just laughed and didn’t care. I remember asking your daddy, And that little country church. I promised you forever… We just never knew how much forever was worth. Chorus Give me one more dance, Like the first one long ago. When I was scared to hold you close, And you were scared to let me know. Let the whole world keep on turning, We’ve got nowhere else to be. Give me one more dance, my darling… And leave the rest to me. Bridge We danced through babies crying, Bills we didn’t know how we’d pay. We danced through Sunday mornings, And some long and worried days. We danced when words came easy, And when forgiveness had to start. Somewhere between those old songs… You learned every step of my heart. Verse 3 The record finished playing, But I let it spin awhile. I looked across our living room… At your picture and your smile. Your blue dress is in the closet, Your Bible’s by the bed. And sometimes when this old song plays… I still hear the things you said. Final Chorus So give me one more dance, When the Lord says it’s my time. Meet me somewhere just inside those gates, And put your hand in mine. There’ll be no last song playing, No goodbye for you and me. We’ll have forever then, my darling… So save one dance for me. Outro Yeah, save one dance for me.
