[Verse 1] I still see your face in the whispering trees Your laughter drifts by on the autumn breeze The wind calls your name, but it don’t sound right Like a record warped by time and night [Verse 2] We dreamed up a life, but in different hues You wanted the stars, I wanted to put down roots I never meant to dim your light But we faded out like a foggy night [Chorus] In the dark, I still sway with you Though the hall is cold and the music’s through I’m dancing alone, but I’m dancing true (oooh…) (mmmh…) Still dancing in the shadows Of what used to be me and you [Verse 3] My love still holds, through silence and years In every laugh, in the warmth of old tears The inside jokes, told at night so late Still linger like perfume that never quite fades [Instrumental Interlude- Jazz ensemble] [Bridge] [Violin solo – slow, sorrowful] [Piano echoes, minimal, waltzing triplets] [Upright bass rises, then fades] [Verse 4] If you’re out there still, in this world or the next Know my heart holds you close—no blame, no regrets Just a wish that the stars had aligned for us two But life pulled our dreams down different avenues [Chorus] In the dark, I still sway with you Though the hall is cold and the music’s through I’m dancing alone, but I’m dancing true (oooh…) (mmmh…) Still dancing in the shadows Of what used to be me and you [Outro – soft instrumental waltz fade] [Piano, brushed snare, quiet jazz guitar] (oooh…) (mmmh…) [Final note hangs and fades]
