[Verse 1] We met out by the screen door light Your smile made the whole porch lean I kept my heart in a careful place Like a folded note between You said “maybe” with shining eyes And I felt that old soft sway But some words weigh more than roses do So I held mine back that day [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause a vow is not a game Not a line you throw in the air You don’t say “forever” lightly If you’re not ready to care [Chorus] Think before we dance Think before we dance Love is sweet, but it asks for all Think before we dance Think before we dance If we say forever, let it stand tall (think before we dance) [Verse 2] Dating’s meant to show the road To see if hearts can match To learn if grace can hold the frame Or if we should step back If the ending comes, don’t call it loss Just a doorway we both found Some loves are meant to lead you on Some lead you safely out [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause a vow is not a game Not a promise said in haste Better slow and sure together Than to wear a sacred name in waste [Chorus] Think before we dance Think before we dance Love is sweet, but it asks for all Think before we dance Think before we dance If we say forever, let it stand tall (think before we dance) [Bridge] I want a love that knows its weight That meets the morning clear Not a promise made too fast Then broken by the years So if we’re headed to the altar Let our hearts be tried and true We’ll only take that holy step When it’s real through and through [Chorus] Think before we dance Think before we dance Love is sweet, but it asks for all Think before we dance Think before we dance If we say forever, let it stand tall (think before we dance)
