[Verse 1] The chandeliers are waking Gold is gathering on the floor Silk rises like colored water As the couples cross more and more I came with one small hope beside me Quiet underneath my smile That somewhere in the turning Someone might choose me for a while [Pre-Chorus] I leave a little space beside me As the first bright waltz begins I had hoped someone might ask me Take my hand for just one song But the room kept turning past me And the evening carried on Then the music opened round me Like a hand I’d always known So I stepped beneath the chandeliers and started dancing alone (...always alone) [Verse 2] The years have changed the woman Not the way she hears a waltz Some doors close without a sound Some dreams miss their season I can grieve the life I pictured Without calling this life wrong There is beauty here before me And I still can hear the song [Pre-Chorus 2] I still look toward the doorway I won’t pretend I never do But hope can sit beside the music And not decide what I will choose [Chorus 2] I had hoped someone might find me I still know that ache by name But the music never asks me To be younger or explain It just opens all around me Like a hand I’ve always known And I choose the dance before me Always dancing alone [Bridge] Now the room is growing quiet One by one, the dancers go Laughter gathers into whispers And the chandeliers gently glow A little girl beside the doorway Stops to watch me cross the floor I miss a turn, and when I laugh She smiles at me once more [Extended Cello Interlude | The Unseen Partner] [Final Chorus] I had hoped someone might ask me I won’t hide that hope away But I won’t miss the final waltz For the promise of someday Beauty has its own invitation And tonight I answer yes The room is nearly empty now But I am not finished yet The music rises round me Like the hand I’ve always known Still turning... Still laughing... Always dancing alone (...dancing...alone...)
